The European Parliament’s Policy Department for Citizens' Rights and Constitutional Affairs is developing the LIBE Legislative Mapping Project, in cooperation with the Secretariat of the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE). This long-term project consists of a comprehensive up-to-date overview of existing and emerging EU legislation and related information in the field of justice and home affairs (JHA) in the form of an online tool for MEPs and their staff.

In response to the migration challenge, on 13 May 2015 the European Commission presented the European Agenda on Migration, with the aim of setting out a comprehensive approach for improving the management of migration in all its aspects. Several implementation packages under the Agenda have already been adopted and the measures therein are starting to be deployed; legislative proposals have also been made and are currently being discussed in Parliament and Council.

This briefing presents a short summary of the positions taken by the European Parliament on issues related to migration and asylum in its most recent relevant Resolutions. It has been prepared for the high-level conference on migration management which takes place on 21st June 2017.

Euroopa Liidu põhiõiguste hartas on sätestatud põhiõigused, mida Euroopa Liit ja liikmesriigid peavad järgima, kui nad ELi õigust rakendavad. See on õiguslikult siduv dokument, mis koostati selleks, et põhiõiguste rolli liidu õiguskorras sõnaselgelt tunnustada ja põhiõigused rohkem esile tuua.

Lissaboni leping seab vabadusel, turvalisusel ja õigusel rajaneva ala loomise olulisele kohale. Lepingus on sätestatud mitu tähtsat uut aspekti: tõhusam ja demokraatlikum otsustamismenetlus, mis tuleneb vana sambastruktuuri kaotamisest, Euroopa Kohtu pädevuse laienemine ja liikmesriikide parlamentide uus roll. Põhiõiguste kaitset tugevdatakse põhiõiguste hartaga, mis on nüüd ELi jaoks õiguslikult siduv.

Euroopa Liidu tasandil on põhiõiguste õigusliku alusena pikka aega kasutatud eelkõige aluslepingutes olevat viidet Euroopa inimõiguste ja põhivabaduste kaitse konventsioonile. Inimõiguste austamise tagamisse Euroopa Liidus on aja jooksul suure panuse andnud ka Euroopa Kohtu kohtupraktika. Lissaboni lepingu jõustumisest saadik laiendab nimetatud õiguslikku alust õiguslikult siduvaks muutunud Euroopa Liidu põhiõiguste harta.

ELi varjupaigapoliitika eesmärk on ühtlustada liikmesriikide varjupaigamenetlusi – võtta kasutusele ühine varjupaiga taotlemise kord, mis võimaldaks tagada kohase staatuse rahvusvahelist kaitset vajavatele kolmandate riikide kodanikele ning tagasi- ja väljasaatmise lubamatuse põhimõtte järgimise.

This study, commissioned by the European Parliament’s Policy Department for Citizens’ Rights and Constitutional Affairs at the request of the LIBE Committee, places the new “hotspot approach” to managing migration within its policy framework. It examines the way in which EU agencies provide support to frontline Member States, with particular focus on Greece, and assesses the chief challenges identified to date in both the policy design and operational implementation of hotspots.

This compilation of briefings presents the most salient points and essential commitments made by the commissioners-designate during the hearings held in September/October 2014 before the parliamentary committees. These commitments concern the main on-going legislative procedures, the preparation of future legislative proposals as well as the scrutiny of the implementation of existing legislation. They also touch upon the crucial issue of inter-institutional cooperation.

Upon request by the JURI Committee, this in-depth analysis examines the immunity of Members of the European Parliament. It describes the scope of their immunity, as clarified by the Court of Justice of the European Union, together with the procedures followed by Parliament in cases of waiver or defence of parliamentary immunities. Lastly, it looks at the practice of the competent committee in order to infer the general principles underlying its decisions.
