EU Council to Focus on Migration and Internal Security

The EU Justice and Home Affairs Council will focus on migration, internal security, justice, and the Schengen Area at its meetings on March 5th and 6th. Discussions will cover the implementation of the Migration and Asylum Pact, the long-term strategy for migration management (2026-2030), strengthening returns, IT system interoperability, and cooperation with countries like Lebanon and Libya. The Cypriot Presidency of the EU is planning an informal ministerial conference to mark the start of the Migration Pact's implementation. Furthermore, internal security issues, including developments in Iran and the situation in Syria, will be examined.
