Critics warn that Sweden will have less influence over migration policy as more and more decisions are shifted from the national level to Brussels.<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After two years of preparation, the EU\u2019s Migration and Asylum Pact is now entering into force in all member states. The new framework covers asylum procedures, border controls, the registration of migrants, and a common system for how member states should manage migration pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Sweden will become part of the EU's common system<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perhaps the biggest change is that migration policy is being coordinated to a greater extent at the EU level. Member states are required to follow common rules for asylum screening, registration, and the allocation of responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pact also includes a permanent solidarity mechanism under which member states are expected to contribute when other countries face high migration pressure. Contributions may take the form of accepting migrants, financial payments, or operational support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Critics argue that this development means national parliaments have less room to maneuver, while the European Commission is playing a greater role in migration policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>New checks and larger databases<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under the pact, individuals who arrive illegally at the EU\u2019s external border must undergo identity, security, and health checks within seven days. At the same time, the EU\u2019s migration database, Eurodac, is being expanded to include additional biometric data, including facial images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The EU's goal is to establish a more unified system for registering, monitoring, and managing migration within the Union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Le Pen warns against a coercive system<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ahead of the pact taking effect, French opposition leader Marine Le Pen wrote on X:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201dTomorrow, the Migration Pact will come into force. It will require European Union member states to accept migrants, or face fines.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Le Pen also announced that her party intends to hold a referendum on immigration policy if it comes to power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even the party leader <strong>Jordan Bardella<\/strong> has criticized the pact and described it as a system in which member states are faced with the choice of either accepting migrants or paying large sums of money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Growing opposition in Europe<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Opposition to the migration pact is strongest in countries such as Poland and Hungary, whose governments have long opposed giving the EU greater influence over migration issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that the pact is being implemented, the EU is entering a new phase in which migration policy will be governed to a greater extent by common rules from Brussels. For Sweden, this means that more decisions on migration and asylum will in the future be made within the framework of the EU\u2019s common system rather than by individual member states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The EU Migration Pact takes effect today.
