Due to mixed flows of asylum-seekers and irregular immigrants, it is often difficult for national authorities to establish at the arrival or interception of immigrants at sea whether they are irregular immigrants or rather persons entitled to seek international protection. As a result,the EU faces an unprecedented migratory crisis and are struggling to find durable solutions. This paper aims to examine the refugee crisis and the EU’s response to asylum seekers and to reach the purpose of this paper will be a combination of empirical and analytical approaches.
