Following the adoption of the Pact on Migration and Asylum in May 2024, the LIBE Committee decided in November 2024 to establish a Working Group tasked with the scrutiny and monitoring of the Common European Asylum System (CEAS).

With the Pact on Migration and Asylum fully coming into application as of mid-2026, the Working Group on Asylum-Implementation of the Pact/CEAS, will in particular focus on its implementation and follow up on the different benchmarks to be met by the EU institutions and Member States during this transition period and outlined in the Commission Common Implementation Plan for the Pact.

The Chair of the Working Group is MEP Birgit SIPPEL (S&D / DE). The Working Group held its first meeting on 15 January 2025.
Mandate

The Working Group has a general mandate for scrutiny and monitoring of the CEAS, in particular the implementation of the Pact on Migration and Asylum. The Working Group will serve as a forum for exchanges on the implementation of the Pact and on the CEAS, including the external dimension of the Pact. The discussions on the implementation of the Pact will seek to draw clear links with the ten building blocks of the Common Implementation Plan issued by the European Commission on 12 June 2024. The Working Group should hold regular meetings, in principle, once per month. If needed, additional ad-hoc meetings can be organised. The Working Group may submit recommendations to the LIBE Coordinators.
