European Migration Network (EMN)

With the assistance of the National Contact Points the European Migration Network (EMN) is intended to provide data and information on the areas of migration and asylum that are objective and reliable and can be compared at EU level, in the medium term to the organs of the European Community (Commission, Council, Parliament) and to the Member States involved in the network, and in the long term also to the wider public.

The work of the national contact points, of which each disposes of its own national network, is aimed at contributing to systematically gather basic data to be used for the surveillance and analysis of the complex phenomenon of migration and asylum.
