EMN: The Application of the Temporary Protection Directive to Refugees from Ukraine in Germany
Best Practices and Challenges
von Philipp Heiermann und Kaan AtanisevThis national study investigates best practices and challenges in the application of the EU Temporary Protection Directive for refugees from Ukraine in Germany.
On March 4, 2022, the European Council activated Directive EU Directive 2001/55/EC on minimum standards for giving temporary protection to refugees in response to the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine and the resulting movement of people. This Directive enables the admission of refugees without individual case assessment as in the asylum procedure. As a result, over 1.1 million Ukrainian refugees have been registered in Germany to date. This study analyses the legal and administrative implementation of the Directive in Germany, access to the rights granted under the Directive, as well as best practices. Additionally, the study examines how state actors have been dealing with challenges in connection with the implementation of the Directive.
