The Office of the Fundamental Rights Officer of the European Union Agency for Asylum (EUAA) published its 2025 annual report on Thursday 23 July, taking stock of the action taken and the initial results of the 2024-2028 strategy for fundamental rights, adopted in September 2024.
In 2025, this gave rise to an action plan comprising 38 measures and 27 indicators. By the end of the year, 65% of the planned measures had been carried out, while nearly 30% were still under way.
As regards the Agency’s missions, the report states that in 2025, the EUAA provided support to 12 Member States, at 153 sites, through the deployment of 1,475 operational staff and around 500 interpreters. Seven visits were carried out across five operations, in Bulgaria, Cyprus, Greece, Italy, and Romania.
They resulted in five reports containing 55 individual observations aimed at improving compliance with fundamental rights.
In addition, the complaints-handling procedure completed its first full year of operation. The Office received 22 complaints - mainly concerning human dignity, the right to asylum, and the prohibition of inhuman or degrading treatment - compared with six in 2024.
One complaint was found admissible, 16 inadmissible, four were still under examination at the end of the year, and one procedure was discontinued.
