European Agenda on Migration

Note(s)

  1. The Pact sets out a new framework that ensures that the principle of solidarity and fair sharing of responsibility is effectively respected by all EU Member States in cases where national asylum systems of one or more EU Member States are not able to cope with an emergency situation characterised by a sudden influx of third-country nationals and guarantee a well-functioning EU migration management system.
  2. It aims at:
  • robust and fair management of external borders, including identity, health and security checks;
  • fair and efficient asylum rules, streamlining procedures on asylum and return;
  • a new solidarity mechanism for situations of search and rescue, pressure and crisis;
  • stronger foresight, crisis preparedness and response;
  • an effective return policy and an EU-coordinated approach to returns;
  • comprehensive governance at EU level for better management and implementation of asylum and migration policies;
  • mutually beneficial partnerships with key third countries of origin and transit;
  • developing sustainable legal pathways for those in need of protection and to attract talent to the EU;
  • and supporting effective integration policies.
