The EMN Ad-Hoc Queries allow the rapid exchange of information among the National Contact Points, at the request of any MS or observer state of the EMN or the European Commission. The network produces compilations and summaries of the responses submitted for various topics, such as f.ex. legal migration, international protection, irregular migration, returns, entry visas, integration, etc. The aim of the Ad-Hoc Queries is to provide answers to EU and national policy makers on short and precise questions, and the answers to them are publicly accessible and searchable on the EMN homepage.
