Commission and EU Agencies agree on a joint action plan with Cyprus to improve migration management
Home Affairs Commissioner Ylva Johansson (pictured) and Cyprus Interior Minister Nicos Nouris signed a Memorandum of Understanding and detailed Action Plan to support and strengthen migration management in Cyprus. The Memorandum was signed in the presence of Promoting our European Way of Life Vice President Margaritis Schinas, and Republic of Cyprus President Nicos Anastasiades. The implementation of the action plan will be supported by the EU's Home affairs Agencies: European Union Agency for Asylum, Frontex and Europol. Modelled on the experience of the joint pilot for Lesvos, the Commission and the EU agencies agreed to continue and further step up, where necessary, the EU's financial and operational support to help Cyprus establish a fair and effective migration management system, in line with EU law. The specific objectives include: enhancing first reception capacities, improving the level of material reception conditions for asylum applicants, supporting timely and effective asylum and return procedures and establishing and implementing an integration strategy. The Memorandum of Understanding is available online.
