# EU Council adopts the Pact on Migration and Asylum

Date: 2024

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.
