Implementing the statelessness provisions in the EU Pact on Migration & Asylum October 2024 4. Frontex - Ensures that all Frontex staff have received training on statelessness and are equipped with adequate knowledge of statelessness when conducting operations - Ensures that it has adequate capacity, knowledge, and training on statelessness to provide operational support to Member States on screening, in particular to support the training of screening authorities to implement their obligations to identify and record indications of statelessness 5. Eurostat - Ensures that data collection mechanisms provide for the possibility to identify and record (indications of) statelessness with a separate field for this purpose, as well as to record different nationalities or statelessness for different family members including children - Facilitates improved harmonisation and reporting of data on statelessness, including clear definitions for the use of nationality categories (for example, avoiding potentially overlapping categories such as ‘Palestinian’ and ‘stateless’, ensuring clear guidance is provided to Member States to improve the quality of data) to support monitoring of the implementation of new statelessness provisions 6. European Parliament - Ensures that in its monitoring and oversight role, the statelessness provisions and fundamental rights of stateless persons are being fully and adequately implemented - Passes resolutions that call on Member States to introduce stronger safeguards and protections for stateless persons in line with international law and human rights standards 7. Member States - Carefully consider and incorporate the necessary adjustments to their national regulatory frameworks and operational policy and guidance to ensure the effective application of the new stateless provisions, in particular under the Screening and Asylum Procedures regulations - Ensure sufficient capacity to identify and record indications of statelessness and the specific needs of stateless applicants and those with undetermined nationality, including minors, and to share the necessary information to be able to address these needs across all steps of the asylum procedure, including sufficient and adequately trained staff, tools and resources to support identification and accurate recording of indications of statelessness - Consider and implement, in line with Article 27(2) APR, pathways to determine statelessness (or nationality) by trained personnel in a dedicated procedure with procedural safeguards at an appropriate juncture in international protection proceedings as an outcome of identifying indications of statelessness at screening - Apply Article 42(2) APR by automatically transferring cases to the regular procedure when the time limit is exceeded and as soon as complex questions of fact or law emerge, including in relation to statelessness, to minimise the risk of applicants being left in limbo
