ECRE has published today an Information Note on Family Reunification for Beneficiaries of International Protection in Europe presenting an overview of some of the most pertinent legal aspects of family reunification within Europe.
Family reunification has become an increasingly pressing topic in the context of the increase in arrivals of asylum seekers to Europe in recent years. A renewed focus has been placed on family reunification as a safe and legal channel for migration to the EU as a means of avoiding the loss of life, showing solidarity to Member States of first entry into the EU, and preventing secondary movement.
