11 July 2023, 3:00-4:30 PM CEST In March 2025 at the latest, the current temporary protection scheme for people fleeing war in Ukraine will come to an end. Host countries must weigh policy options and practical considerations, and take into account the intentions and uncertainties of displaced Ukrainians. The implications for the millions of individuals concerned are immense.
This webinar will explore the range of potential solutions to enabling persons displaced from Ukraine to remain in the EU, including the use of current asylum and other long-term residence channels, as well as new forms of temporary protection or the recently proposed reconstruction permit. By drawing on past experiences and current initiatives, speakers will assess the political and technical feasibility of these options and their potential impact on both refugees and EU host countries.
