Precisely three months after the activation of the EU’s Temporary Protection Directive (TPD), this online Policy Dialogue will take stock of its implementation and reflect on possible future developments in the EU’s response to refugee flows from Ukraine. Two high-level panels will assess if and how Ukrainian refugees have been able to access the rights provided by the TPD and the progress made on the coordinated response envisaged by the European Commission in its 10-Point Plan. Panellists will also discuss whether the TPD has managed to promote a balance of efforts between member states in receiving Ukrainian refugees, and what European policymakers can learn from enabling people in search of protection to move freely across the EU.
