Summary
GeneratedThe Crisis and Force Majeure Regulation creates a legal framework for managing migration and asylum during exceptional situations like mass influxes or health emergencies. It affects national asylum authorities and border agencies by introducing temporary procedural flexibilities and solidarity measures. The regulation entered into force in May 2024 as part of the New Pact on Migration and Asylum.
