The Pact tightens border screening and accelerated procedures across the EU, increasing systemic restrictiveness even as it adds solidarity provisions.

On 14 May 2024, the Council of the EU formally adopted the Pact on Migration and Asylum, a package of ten interlocking legislative acts overhauling the bloc's asylum and migration framework. The Pact introduces faster border screening and asylum procedures, a common rulebook, and a permanent solidarity mechanism for sharing responsibility for arrivals. The European Parliament had approved the package on 10 April 2024. The Council vote was not unanimous: Hungary and Poland voted against and others abstained. The rules began to apply in mid-2026.
