The purpose of the European Migration Network (EMN) Glossary of terms relating to Asylum and Migration coming principally from the EU acquis is inter alia to improve comparability between EU Member States through the use and common understanding of the terms and definitions contained herein. The glossary is intended to serve as a useful European reference document for EMN National Contact Points (EMN NCPs) and their national network members, policymakers and other practitioners in the Member States, as well as EU institutions, in order to facilitate the exchange of information on a common basis. In this way it can provide commonly defined terminology and support a more rational discourse on migration and asylum matters, including in the media. This is an updated version of the first EMN Glossary published in January 2010 illustrating that it is a “living document.” As well as including several new terms and translations, plus an index, further revisions to some of the definitions have been made to provide more clarity on their definitions and also to reflect changes or additions to their understanding in light of more recent policy developments. Another improvement was to adapt the definition given for a particular term so that it could directly replace the term in any given text. The glossary is also being used in the development of an EMN Thesaurus, the purpose of which is to facilitate structured searching for relevant documents in the domain of asylum and migration.
