This was reported by the press service of the European Commission.
On 27 September 2023, EU ministers reached a political agreement to extend temporary protection until 4 March 2025. The final decision was made today.
Let us recall that on March 4 last year, Brussels activated the directive on temporary protection. We are talking about an EU mechanism to ensure collective protection of displaced persons and reduce pressure on the national asylum systems of EU countries.
A total of 4.1 million refugees from Ukraine are registered for temporary protection or similar schemes in the EU.
Temporary protection allows Ukrainians to enjoy a consistent set of rights within the EU, in particular:
-
access to housing,
-
access to the labor market
-
medical care
-
access to education for children.
