Abstract
The article discusses the possibilities and limits of using digital technologies that have been adopted by European countries to solve the tasks of collecting and processing data for recording and monitoring migration flows in the EU. The dynamic growth of migration in the world has raised the question of the need for rapid access to a large amount of data to solve social, economic, and political issues. Current trends in migration form a request for automated data collection and the possibility of using them to predict people’s movement. At the end of the article, the author concludes the effectiveness of adapting information and communication technologies to solve EU migration policy issues.
