New statistical annex consolidates Europe’s asylum and migration evidence

The 2026 Eurostat and European Migration Network annex brings major European asylum and migration indicators into one reference volume.

Published on July 20, 2026, the annex compiles evidence on legal migration, asylum, temporary protection, unaccompanied minors, integration, citizenship, statelessness, irregular migration, return, and trafficking.

It is best presented as a research reference rather than a single news event. Individual claims still require attention to definitions, reference periods, and whether a measure is a flow, stock, application, decision, or person.
