March 2010 - The European Parliament resumes its work on asylum package

The European Parliament committee on civil liberties, justice and home affairs is currently working on two recast proposals, one on the 2004 “asylum qualification” directive, the other on the 2005 “asylum procedures” directive. The recast of these texts takes place within the framework of the “asylum package” aiming to harmonize Member States’ practices and to build the Common European Asylum System. Several other measures belonging to this package were adopted by the European Parliament in May 2009.

• Recast of the directive on Minimum standards for the qualification and status of third country nationals or stateless persons as beneficiaries of international protection and the content of the protection granted. The document is available in English and French.

• Recast of the directive on Minimum standards on procedures in Member States for granting and withdrawing international protection. The document is available in English and French.
