Brussels HOME.C.2/AB

Subject: High-Level Resettlement and Humanitarian Admission Committee –

request to nominate a representative and organisation of the first

meeting

Your Excellency,

On 14 May 2024, the Regulation (EU) 2024/1350 of the European Parliament and of the

Council establishing a Union Resettlement and Humanitarian Admission Framework,

and amending Regulation (EU) 2021/11471 (the ‘Regulation’), was adopted as part of the

Pact on Migration and Asylum. This was an historic agreement, and we now need to

focus on its effective implementation.

In that regard, the Regulation establishes a Union Resettlement and Humanitarian

Admission Framework (the ‘Union Framework’) for the admission of third-country

nationals or stateless persons to the territory of the Member States with a view to

granting them a protections status. The Union Framework will contribute to enhancing

safe and legal pathways to protection to the EU. It will support in increasing the Union’s

contribution to international resettlement and humanitarian admission initiatives and in

strengthening the Union’s partnerships with third countries in regions hosting large

numbers of persons in need of international protection.

The Regulation establishes a High-Level Resettlement and Humanitarian Admission

Committee (the ‘High-Level Committee’).

The role of the High-Level Committee will be to advise the Commission on the

implementation of the Union Framework. It will also engage in discussions to define the

recommended number of persons to be admitted and identify third countries and regions

of priority from which admissions should occur, with a view to strengthening

partnerships with these third countries. The High-Level Committee should meet at least

once a year.

The outcome of the High-Level Committee’s meetings, and the indications made by the

Member States about their participation and contributions to the total number of persons

to be admitted, will guide the Commission in drafting the proposal for a two-year Union

Resettlement and Humanitarian Admission Plan (the ‘Union Plan’). The Union Plan will

be adopted by Council by means of an implementing act.

As per the Regulation, the High-Level Committee shall be composed of representatives

of the European Parliament, the Council, the Commission and the Member States. The

EU Asylum Agency, the UNHCR and the International Organization for Migration shall

be invited to attend the meetings of the High-Level Committee. Other relevant

organisations, including civil society organisations, may be invited to attend the meetings

of the High-Level Committee in areas of their expertise. Finally, representatives of

Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland shall be invited to attend the meetings

of the High-Level Committee where they have indicated their intention to be associated

with the implementation of the Union Plan.

To launch the work of the High-Level Committee and with due consideration of its key

role in the effective implementation of Regulation, I invite your national authorities to

appoint a representative at senior official level who will take part to the works of the

High-Level Committee. I also invite you to appoint an alternate at senior official level

who may replace the representative when needed. The nominated representative will be

the main contact for any communication on the High-Level Committee.

The first in-person meeting of the High-Level Committee is expected to take place on

Thursday 7 November 2024, in Brussels. The meeting will be chaired by Johannes

Luchner, Deputy Director-General of the Directorate-General for Migration and Home

Affairs. More information will be shared with the representative in due time.

To proceed with the organisation of the first meeting of the High-Level Committee, I

would be grateful if you could transmit the names of the national representative and of

the alternate to [email protected], by Friday 6 September

2024.

Should you need more information, please do not hesitate to contact the Commission

officials in charge of the file, Aurélie Belzunces ([email protected],

+32.229.85082) and Sara Bortoletti ([email protected], +32.229.69236).

I look forward to the kick-off of the High-Level Committee and wish to express my

sincere appreciation for your active contribution to its work.

Yours sincerely,

Beate GMINDER
