Until now, Member States confronted with situations of particular pressure have been supported via the provision of financial assistance (emergency assistance under the European Refugee Fund until 2014, and the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund since 2014) and operational support (European Asylum Support Office – EASO).
Tänase päevani on pakiliste olukordadega silmitsi seisnud liikmesriigid saanud tuge finantsabist (kuni 2014. aastani erakorraline abi Euroopa Pagulasfondist ning alates 2014. aastast Varjupaiga-, Rände- ja Integratsioonifondist) ja operatiivabist (Euroopa Varjupaigaküsimuste Tugiamet EASO).
