Abstract
From May to July 2016, the European Commission put forward a wide-ranging European Asylum package, which included the establishment of a European Union Agency for Asylum with the aim of ensuring that Member States get more operational assistance in processing asylum applications. This article analyzes the key operational novelties that the proposed transformation of the European Asylum Support Office into the European Union Agency for Asylum will bring.
