The Glossary aims to improve comparability by enabling a common understanding and use of terms and definitions relating to asylum and migration. The definitions and terms included in the Glossary draw on a variety of sources, but primarily on the legislation of the EU asylum and immigration acquis.

The definitions and terms are available in the majority of the EMN Member States' languages.
