ПРОБЛЕМЫ ПРАВОВОГО РЕГУЛИРОВАНИЯ МИГРАЦИОННЫХ ПРОЦЕССОВ В ЕС НА СОВРЕМЕННОМ ЭТАПЕ

Abstract

This article focuses on the legal regulation problems of migration processes in the EU at the present stage. The author seeks to identify and investigate the main challenges facing the legal system of the European Union in the migration field noting current global processes. The issue of legal migration and asylum has become one of the most debated issues in the European Union in recent years due to the unresolved problems of the 2015-2018 migration crisis, the subsequent Covid-19 pandemic and the special operation in Ukraine, which caused a wave of refugees to enter the European Union. In the near future, it is expected that legal migration policy will mainly be implemented at national level and will also be developed domestically due to the lack of motivation to develop it at supranational level. Many countries opposed a common European policy on migration during the migration crisis in Europe, which affects the current situation as well. European migration law needs to be developed and improved in view of several fundamental problems, on which the EU has made little progress since 2018. Disproportionate numbers of asylum applications, outdated Schengen law, lack of agreement in several European Union countries, disproportionate immigrational burden on member states, imperfect migrant identification systems in times of excessive influx and other problems described in the paper. There is a need to update the legal framework for European migration policy and to improve the migrant identification system. The main problem, in general, is that the normative regulation of migration in the European Union does not correspond to the situation in practice, which also needs to be corrected.
