The European Union is currently discussing solutions to the problem of mass migration. This issue is addressed in the Polish-Hungarian report Taking Back Control from Brussels: The Renationalization of the EU Migration and Asylum Policies. After Budapest and Warsaw, the publication will be presented in Brussels. Ordo Iuris President Jerzy Kwaśniewski will take part in the event.

After three decades of “common” EU migration policy, Europe still hasn’t found a working answer to mass immigration. A new study — Taking Back Control From Brussels: The Renationalization of EU Migration and Asylum Policies — by Hungary’s Mathias Corvinus Collegium Center for European Studies and Migration Research Institute, in cooperation with Poland’s Ordo Iuris Institute, lays out why the EU’s asylum and migration system keeps failing and why this is structural.

It points to judicial activism, international legal constraints, deportations that rarely occur, and quota schemes that do not work. The authors propose a three-pillar roadmap to shift powers back to member states, restore sovereignty, and make migration policy answerable to voters again, because it is the only way Europe can truly take back control.

The report has so far been presented in Warsaw and Budapest. On March 4, the publication will be presented in Brussels. The event will be attended by Zoltán Szalai, Director General of MCC; András László, Member of the European Parliament and President of the Patriots for Europe Foundation; Rodrigo Ballester, Director of the MCC Center for European Studies; Viktor Marsai, Executive Director of the Migration Research Institute; Jerzy Kwaśniewski, President of the Ordo Iuris Institute for Legal Culture; Fabrice Leggeri, Member of the European Parliament, member of the Board of the Patriots for Europe Foundation, and former Director of Frontex; as well as Róbert Gönczi, analyst at the Migration Research Institute.

The conference is organized by MCC Brussels in cooperation with the Migration Research Institute, the Ordo Iuris Institute, and the Patriots for Europe Foundation.
