Paphos, Cyprus — George Ioannou, CEO of Cap St. Georges Hotel & Resort, welcomed leaders from Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) across the European Union to Cap St. Georges Hotel & Resort for the Annual Meeting of the Contact Committee. The event, held on October 16-17, 2024, focused on critical discussions around EU migration policy, its ongoing reforms, and the challenges faced by member states like Cyprus.
The gathering, organized by the Audit Office of the Republic of Cyprus, brought together key figures, including representatives from the European Court of Auditors, the European Commission, and international organizations such as the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM). The event provided a platform for in-depth discussions on how the EU can address migration more effectively, aligning with the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

These sessions explored past lessons and the anticipated outcomes of the new Pact on Migration and Asylum, aiming to provide a balanced approach to European policy reforms.
The second day shifted focus to the role of SAIs in ensuring transparency and accountability in implementing migration policies.
