​Temporary protection for displaced persons from Ukraine

On 4 March 2022, the European Council established that there is a mass influx of displaced persons fleeing Ukraine in need of temporary protection within the meaning of Directive 2001/55/EC. Following the Council implementing decision 2022/382, EU Member States have enacted legislative measures to activate temporary protection at the national level and provide immediate support.
