Migration pact: Last call for MEPs

In this episode of our ‘Today in the EU’ podcast we are looking into the vote on the controversial migration pact.

Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) will discuss and vote on ten new bills updating the EU asylum and migration rules, emphasising cooperation and mandatory but flexible solidarity.

The final legislative activity in migration and asylum takes place at plenary today, where the Commission and the Belgian Council Presidency share the results of the Migration and Asylum Pact discussions. The agreed texts, seek to strengthen European state collaboration and the EU's crisis response.

We sat down with Eleonora Vasques and Aurélie Pugnet from Euractiv’s politics hub, to discuss how the vote will pan out and what does it all mean for member states?
