Different National Practices Concerning Granting of Non-EU Harmonised Protection Statuses (2009)

The study describes and analyses the existing legislation and common practices applied in the EU Member States in granting of such types of protection to third-country nationals that the European Union has not incorporated in its secondary legislation on migration so far, and where the countries still apply their own procedures – so-called non-harmonised protection statuses. The study describes the main characteristics as well as the procedures and rights connected with these protection statuses.
