European Migration Glossary 7.0

The EMN Glossary – as one of the key products of the EMN – improves comparability by enabling a common understanding and use of terms and definitions relating to asylum and migration. The Glossary draws on a variety of sources, but primarily on the legislation of the EU asylum and immigration acquis, and makes terms available in the majority of EU Member State languages.

Each glossary entry is comprised of a preferred term, a definition of the concept that this term represents, the source/sources of the definition, plus notes and relationships to other terms (synonyms, broader and narrower terms as well as related terms) included in the Glossary.
