“On social payments and medical payments. The level of social and family payments differs from one member state to another,” Lamart stressed.

He reported that, in accordance with the EU Directive, “Member States should be provided if the beneficiaries do not have sufficient resources to provide persons who use temporary protection, the necessary assistance in the field of social security, medical care and means of existence.”

“However, the Temporary Protection Directive does not provide for the amount or minimum threshold of social assistance. Its level remains at the discretion of the Member States,” the European Commission spokesman emphasized.

“The necessary help is provided by directive, but the threshold or minimum threshold is not provided. This is what I can say,” he added.

“Member States have approved the continuation of temporary protection at the Council of Internal Affairs in July until 2027. Having done this, the EU strengthens its unwavering devotion to Ukraine’s support for as much as it will be needed,” Marcus Lamart stressed.
