Temporary Protection Directive

The Temporary Protection Directive is a European Union legal framework designed to provide immediate support to individuals fleeing crises, such as armed conflicts or natural disasters. It allows for rapid protection without lengthy asylum procedures, ensuring that people in distress receive necessary rights and services, such as residence, work, and access to healthcare. This directive aims to help large numbers of displaced persons efficiently, reflecting the EU's commitment to humanitarian values and solidarity among its member states during emergencies.
