On 28 March the European Commission presented a 10-point plan that aims to ensure stronger European coordination on welcoming people fleeing the war against Ukraine.

The ten action points outlined in the plan are as follows:

1. Creation of an EU platform for registration to exchange information on beneficiaries of temporary protection and national protection statuses.
2. Development of an EU-level coordinated approach for transport and information hubs.
3. Mapping of reception capacity and accommodation to match the offers of those Member States that can provide help to those that need support, and help in the organisation of transfers from Member States under most pressure, supported by the Commission's ‘Safe Homes' initiative. The European Union Agency for Asylum will provide targeted support to Member States on the basis of operational plans and coordinate the EU network of reception agencies and authorities.
4. Development of national contingency plans to address medium to long-term needs, a common European contingency and response plan, and a common EU index to be fed into by Member States, European agencies and international organisations.
5. Development of standard operating procedures and uniform guidance for the reception and support of children, and specific procedures for the transfer of unaccompanied minors.
6. Development of a common anti-trafficking plan to prevent trafficking and exploitation, based on the EU strategy on combatting trafficking in human beings (2021-2025).
7. Reinforcement with immediate priority of solidarity with Moldova through increased transfers and the rapid deployment of Frontex teams to Moldova.
8. Production of a reinforced framework for international cooperation on safe destinations. The Solidarity Platform, in cooperation with the relevant agencies and other relevant partners, will coordinate contacts with Canada, US, the UK and other international partners.
9. Addressing of internal security implications of the war in Ukraine, ensuring maximal vigilance against organised crime and trafficking groups and the enforcement of EU sanctions against Russian and Belarussian individuals.
10. Provision of adequate resources and funding. To support the efforts of Member States the Commission has proposed facilitation of the flexible use of funding.
