The question will be suspended on 31 December 2025 and the outcome determined using data as reported by the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) for "Total arrivals" on its Mediterranean Situation page (UNHCR - Mediterranean Situation). In 2023, a total of 270,180 arrived in Europe (sea arrivals to Italy and Malta, and both sea and land arrivals to Cyprus, Greece, and Spain (including the Canary Islands)).
