Thread by @StevePeers

I've extensively rewritten my blog post on temporary protection for people fleeing the invasion of Ukraine, how that the EU has adopted the temporary protection law: eulawanalysis.blogspot.com/2022/02/tempor…
Thread with main points 1/

2/ Who is covered by temporary protection?

These are the core groups fully covered:

3/ A second group of people must be covered either by EU temporary protection or by adequate protection in national law (not further defined)

4/ Member States *may* apply the law to non-Ukrainians who were working or studying in Ukraine, but in any case "should" treat them fairly re crossing borders etc

5/ and a further group of people who it's optional to cover

6/ The number of people who can be covered isn't explicitly capped

7/ How long does temporary protection last? In principle one year, might be extended to three years.

(We'll come back to what happens after it ends)

8/ What rights do temporary protection beneficiaries have?

First of all, residence permits and access to employment (although there can be a labour market priority for EU citizens etc)

9/ Also rights to social welfare, housing, health care and education

10/ I've added a section above movement between Member States. First of all, movement *before* obtaining temporary protection. The temporary protection decision simply flips the Dublin system upside down.

11/ After obtaining temporary protection, the Dublin system still doesn't really apply, although it's not a free movement right either

12/ Temporary protection beneficiaries can apply for asylum although it's assumed that they won't

13/ At this point the Dublin system would apply, but it might be messy

14/ When temporary protection ends, the usual law applies

15/ Finally I have some views on how temporary protection compares to the usual awfulness of asylum law
