[01] Effective European policy on asylum, EU Commissioner Avramopoulos
says
It is time to adopt a common and effective European policy on asylum,
EU Commissioner for Migration and Home Affairs Dimitris Avramopoulos
said on Thursday in doorstep comments at the JHA Council, Luxembourg.
Regarding the strengthening of the Common European Asylum System, he said
that he would make an appeal so that all member states provide with the
technical support and the human resources.
"Our objective is to stop illegal migration at the borders of Europe. In
order to achieve it, we have to: enhance and deepen cooperation with third
countries, like Turkey (where the EU-Turkey deal works properly); and,
of course, to implement our Compact Partnership Packages with African
countries," he underlined.
"It is very very clear and all member states must take their share of
responsibilities and prove it by implementing what we have discussed
and decided on relocation and resettlement," he concluded.
