The Realities of Separated Refugee Families in the EU

This report intends to shed light on the specific problems faced by beneficiaries of international protection and their family members as per their personal circumstances. It does not provide an exhaustive picture as it focuses on the situation in 12 Member States: Austria, Belgium, Estonia, France, Finland, the United Kingdom, Hungary, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain and Sweden.12 The report describes the situation of sponsors,13 the regions they have fled, the situation of their family members, and contrasts them with the requirements of the procedure applied by Member States when considering applications for family reunification. Concrete examples are also included in order to illustrate the inadequacy of the procedure when compared to the realities of refugee flight. Finally, this report puts forward a number of recommendations to Member States to ensure that the right to family reunification is properly complied with. This report focuses chiefly on the EU Directive on Family reunification with regard to the situation for beneficiaries of international protection in the EU.
