Abstract

Following the conflicts in former Yugoslavia, temporary protection was introduced as a crucial elementof the European Union’s (EU) response to refugee crises. The EU even adopted a directive, the TemporaryProtection Directive, regarding its implementation. However, despite several refugee crises, it was notactivated. Building on a comprehensive analysis of official documents of European institutions andthe available secondary literature, this article investigates the main reasons behind its inactivation. Itreveals that the real concerns of EU Member States lay in the measures promoting a balance of efforts toprovide temporary protection. In other words, Member States’ concerns over responsibility and burdensharing cast a shadow over temporary protection in the EU. The article concludes that the Directive’sinactivation indicates a crisis of fundamental principles in European integration.Keywords: asylum, European Union, refugee crisis, temporary protection, solidarity
