In the field of asylum, EU legislation requires Member States to harmonise their legislation and practices in line with the Common European Asylum System (CEAS). There are two protection statuses harmonised at European level - refugee status and subsidiary protection, however a variety of national protection statuses exist as well.
The Synthesis Report provides an overview of forms of protection granted by Member States and Norway other than those covered by EU asylum legislation. The study also describes procedures, rights and standards that come with these statuses and their comparison with the EU-harmonised statuses.
The EU report is supported by a shorter Inform and a Flash, summarizing main findings in succinct manner and by infographics. The Study of the Slovak Republic is available in questionnaire format in English and Slovak language version.
