European Migration Network

EMN website: www.emn.lt

The European Commission co-ordinates the EMN, in co-operation with National Contact Points (EMN NCPs) appointed in each Member State, who, in turn, develop a national network consisting of a widerange of entities representing all relevant stakeholders. EMN NCPs, which have been designated by their Member State government, consist primarily of Ministries of Interior and of Justice; plus Research Institutes; Non-Governmental Organisations; and a national office of an International Organisation.

IOM Vilnius has been appointed to represent Lithuania in EMN.

Objective: To meet the information needs of Community institutions and of Member States’ authorities and institutions by providing up-to-date, objective, reliable and comparable information on migration and asylum, with the view of supporting policymaking in the European Union in these areas. The EMN also serves to provide the general public with such information.

Activities:

 -  EMN responds to information needs through specific Reports, Studies and Ad-Hoc Queries.

 -  EMN collects and documents information in a comparative manner.

 -  EMN has the task of establishing a multi-level network to aid its activities.

EMN was established as a fully functioning EU level network in 2008.
