Together with nine other MEPs from four political groups, I put a question on the application of the Temporary Protection Directive to stateless refugees from Ukraine. You can find the question and the answer in several languages also here.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our request from 20 May 2022 <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

EU member states are not obliged to extend the granting of temporary protection to the most stateless refugees<\/a> from Ukraine. The Temporary Protection Directive applies only to stateless persons enjoying international protection (or equivalent status) in Ukraine. Stateless persons who can prove that they have resided permanently in Ukraine before 24 February 2022 and cannot safely return to their country or region of origin are also entitled to protection, but Member States can decide whether to apply the Temporary Protection Directive or to grant adequate protection under national law. Member States may extend protection to other persons, including stateless persons, lawfully residing in Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
