European Migration Network’s Glossary of terms

The purpose of the European Migration Network (EMN)’s Glossary of terms relating to Asylum and Migration terms is inter alia to improve comparability between EU Member States through the use and common understanding of the terms and definitions contained therein. The glossary shall also be used to develop further the EMN Thesaurus, the purpose of which is to permit the structured searching of documents within the EMN’s Information Exchange System.
 
Terms are arranged in alphabetical order. For each term, the translation into other Member State languages is given, along with the agreed definition plus the source of the definition. A hyperlink to the original source document from which the definition was obtained is also given in many cases.

 
The Introductory text (EN – DE – FR – IT – ES – PT – SK) to the Glossary
publication provides more information on the development and approach taken
by the EMN.
