This is ENS's Submission to the European Commission Consultation on the future of Home Affairs policies. ENS welcomes the opportunity to contribute to the debate launched by the European Commission on the future of EU Home Affairs policies, and in particular to promote improved protection for stateless persons – an issue that hitherto has not received adequate attention at the European Union level or in the framing of Home Affairs legislation and policy under previous programmes.
The submission is structured around the following themes: Responding to statelessness in the migration context, statelessness and EU citizenship, the eradication of statelessness in the EU, and statelessness in EU foreign policy.
