In dealing with refugees at Europe's external borders, the EU's anti-fraud agency (OLAF) is making serious accusations against the EU's border protection agency Frontex. OLAF accuses the agency, based in Warsaw, of covering up illegal rejections - also known as pushbacks - of migrants in the Mediterranean, as "Der Spiegel" reported today. According to the report, managers at Frontex are said to have deliberately covered up the fact that Greek border guards were bringing refugees back to the open Mediterranean. read more

And they’re being heartily welcomed, by leaders of countries like Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria, Moldova and Romania. But while the hospitality has been applauded, it has also highlighted stark differences in treatment given to migrants and refugees from the Middle East and Africa, particularly Syrians who came in 2015. read more

While a proposal to activate the 2001 Temporary Protection Directive for Ukrainians fleeing the country was “broadly welcomed” by the ministers during their extraordinary meeting on Sunday (27 February), a formal decision will only be made on Thursday, EU Home Affairs and Migration Commissioner Ylva Johansson said after the talks. Once activated, the directive would stay in force for one year, unless it is prolonged, and would allow Ukrainians to take immediate, temporary refuge in the EU without going through a standard asylum process. Beyond the question of refugees’ entry into EU territory, it also remains unclear how they will be distributed among member states. read more
