Complementary Pathways: Pledging Protection at the Edges of EU Law

Loxa, Alezini LU (2023) In European Journal of Migration and Law 25(2). p.226-248
Abstract
In September 2020, the EU Commission published the New Pact on Migration and Asylum in order to offer ‘fresh start’ for EU migration law and policy. Complementary pathways for admission to EU territory were among the proposals set out in the Pact. This article takes stock of the different measures suggested by the Commission to create such complementary pathways. It suggests that the aim of creating complementary pathways remains to a large extent declaratory, it is devised in discretionary operational measures with loose grounding in EU law, and reproduces systemic deficiencies that have characterized EU asylum law in the past decades.
