EU Protection of children and young people fleeing the war against Ukraine: extracts from the debate

MEPs discuss with Council and Commission what the EU can do to protect children fleeing war in Ukraine, in particular from trafficking and exploitation during a debate in the European Parliament in Strasbourg. Following the activation on 3 March of the temporary protection status for refugees from Ukraine -which gives them temporary residence rights and access to education and the labour market-, the Commission and the French Presidency of the Council are working on a 10-point plan to enhance the European common response.
