It defines short term and long term priorities focusing on the following four pillars: a Common European Asylum System (CEAS); a new European policy on legal migration; fighting irregular migration and trafficking in human beings more robustly; and securing the external EU borders. 3. The Partnership Framework on Migration with third countries under the European Agenda on Migration was launched in June 2016, (COM(2016) 385). It fully integrates migration in the European Union's foreign policy and is the EU's comprehensive cooperation approach to better manage migration flows. Tailor-made agreements (compacts) with key third countries of origin and transit were developed with the following short-term objectives: to save lives in the Mediterranean sea; to increase the rate of returns to countries of origin and transit; and to keep migrants and refugees close to home. 4. In the long term, the EU should continue to increase its efforts to address the root causes of irregular migration and forced displacement and to provide capacity building to the host communities and relevant institutions.
