This year’s Asylum and Migration Report, published by the European Commission on Friday, states that Bulgaria, Czechia, Estonia, Croatia, Austria, and Poland face a significant migratory situation, because of cumulative pressures over the last five years. They will have the possibility to request from the Council of the European Union a full or partial deduction from their contributions to the Solidarity Pool for the upcoming year.
It is for the Council to agree on the size of the Solidarity Pool and how each Member State will contribute. Member States will have the flexibility to choose how they contribute: through relocation of asylum applicants, ‘responsibility offsets’, financial support, alternative measures or a combination of these measures.
Illegal migration to the EU has decreased by 55% over the past two years, said the European Commissioner for Internal Affairs and Migration, Magnus Brunner, who presented the report. He noted that the number of asylum applications is also falling, while the number of migrants returned without the right to stay is rising.
Over the past two years, the number of irregular border crossings has more than halved, with an additional decline of more than one-third reported in the first six months of this year, the report states. There has also been a significant decrease in unauthorized migrant movements (a 22% decline in 2025) as well as in the number of asylum applications (a 19% decline in 2025), while the proportion of return decisions enforced exceeds 30%.
The data show that Greece and Cyprus are under migration pressure due to the disproportionate number of arrivals last year. Italy is also under migration pressure due to the disproportionate number of arrivals resulting from search-and-rescue operations at sea. Spain is also under migration pressure, considering the overall migration situation and the events in Ceuta.
Belgium, Czechia, Germany, Estonia, Ireland, France, Croatia, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Slovenia and Finland are at risk of migratory pressure. This can be due to relatively high numbers of illegal arrivals, unauthorized secondary movements, asylum applications or beneficiaries of temporary protection. It can also be linked to a risk of instrumentalization of migrants, which could create disproportionate obligations in the coming year.
