During the first semester of 2010, the co-legislators formally approved the creation of a European Asylum Support Office (EASO) and Member States decided that its seat would be Valletta, Malta.
2010. aasta esimeses pooles kiitsid kaasseadusandjad Euroopa Varjupaigaküsimuste Tugiameti loomise ametlikult heaks ja liikmesriigid otsustasid, et selle asukohaks saab Valletta.
