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 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 The protection of all those who are stateless or at risk of statelessness is a concern of the Commission. The relevant Council Decision of 4 March 2022[1]<\/a> on the introduction of temporary protection under the Temporary Protection Directive[2]<\/a> also extends to certain categories of stateless persons who fall within those categories entitled to temporary protection or other appropriate protection under national law. Member States may extend protection to all other stateless persons. Member States had to comply with the minimum standards and rights of the Temporary Protection Directive by 31 December 2002.[3]<\/a> or on the occasion of accession to the EU into national law. These provisions were activated by the Council decision of March 4, 2022. The Commission has urged Member States in various ways (operational guidelines, own agenda items, missions, etc.) and in many fora (Solidarity Platform, Blueprint, Council Working Groups, etc.) to apply these provisions appropriately to all persons covered by the Directive, including stateless persons, who in particular face specific challenges in terms of evidence and status determination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. the operational guidelines of the Commission for the implementation of the Council decision[4]<\/a>which already contain chapters on evidence and status determination, will be updated to take due account of the situation on the ground and changing needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Commission regularly updates the information collected under the EU Preparedness and Response Plan and adapts it according to developments and data availability. In addition, statelessness was a specific agenda item for the Solidarity Platform established to implement temporary protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Together with nine other MEPs from four political groups, I tabled a question on the application of the Temporary Protection Directive to stateless refugees from Ukraine.
