The European Union Agency for Asylum (EUAA) is an agency of the European Union that plays a key role in the development and practical application of the Common European Asylum System. It was established with the aim of enhancing cooperation between Member States om asylum policy, as well as directly supporting them in day-to-day asylum affairs through training, guidelines and, in emergencies, teams of experts.
