Minister Eduardo Cabrita at European Parliament hearing
​On 27 May, the European Parliament's Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs held a public hearing on the New Pact on Migration and Asylum.

The opening session included statements by Minister Eduardo Cabrita, representing the Portuguese Presidency of the Council of the European Union, Commissioner Ylva Johansson and Anila Noor, of the Global Refugee-led Network.

The panels then focused on Solidarity Mechanisms and Border Procedures and gave MEPs the opportunity to hear representatives of the Member States, the European Commission and EU agencies, as well as experts and civil society, in preparation for Parliament's forthcoming positions on these issues.
