  • The European Commission’s 2025 European Annual Asylum and Migration Report lists Belgium as a country under ‘risk of migratory pressure’ alongside 11 other EU countries such as Germany, France and Ireland, as reported by VRT news on 12 November 2025. The report, which covers the period from July 2024 to June 2025, describes a ‘steady improvement’ in migration trends, with a 35% decrease ian irregular border crossings. Still, it points to ongoing challenges such as arrivals from undocumented migrants and the continued reception of Ukrainian refugees. Countries classified as ‘at risk’ of migratory pressure may have access to financial assistance through the EU’s ‘toolbox’ which was created as part for the Pact on Migration.
