How can the EU balance solidarity and responsibility in migration policy?
TEPSA European Council Experts’ Debrief April 2023

Migration has made another appearance in the March EUCO conclusions after a much-awaited come-back to the EUCO summit in February. A series of recent events has made the return of this item to the agenda virtually inevitable. With the debate on search and rescue at sea revamping, the number of victims hitting another record high, and the end of the legislature looming, the migration clock keeps ticking and responding to the demands for European solutions cannot be eluded.

"Asymmetric Interstate Solidarity and Return Sponsorship"

Journal of Common Market Studies, early view

Should member states be allowed to choose their form of contribution in a solidarity scheme? And, if so, should return sponsorship be one of the contributions allowed? Building on normative theories of solidarity in the EU, this article argues that return sponsorship should be rejected both because it does not further solidarity among member states and because the rights of rejected asylum seekers set a strong presumption against it.
