The European Agenda on Migration-What about Legal Avenues and Integration?

At the dawn of 2018, it is time to take stock of the EU response to the current migration challenge as it was initially framed in the 2015 European Commission's European Agenda on Migration. Has it been as comprehensive as claimed by the Agenda and as called upon by the European Ϸվ? What happened to the so-called "legal avenues"? Where does the "new policy on legal migration" stand? Are EU measures better supporting now integration within the Member States?
With this one-day event, Ϸվarians at both national and European level will have a unique opportunity to exchange with representatives of EU institutions, bodies and agencies, intergovernmental organisations, local governments, academics and think tanks on a topic which combines competences at all levels of governance in the EU.

Interparliamentary Committee Meeting - A holistic approach to migration

The LIBE Committee will hold an inter-parliamentary meeting on "a holistic approach to migration" on 23 September 2015, in room JAN 4Q2. The hearing takes place in the context of LIBE work on the Strategic own-initiative report on the situation in the Mediterranean and the need for a holistic EU approach to migration (co-Rapporteurs: Ms Roberta Metsola, EPP, and Ms Kashetu Kyenge, S&D).
On 17 December 2014, the European Ϸվ adopted a Resolution on the situation in the Mediterranean and the need for a holistic EU approach to migration. The Resolution instructed the competent Committee, the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs, to assess the various policies at stake in the area of migration, asylum and border control, develop a set of recommendations and to report to Plenary in the form of a strategic report before the end of 2015.
Following this, the LIBE Committee has begun working on a strategic own-initiative report on the situation in the Mediterranean and the need for a holistic approach to migration (co-rapporteurs: Ms Roberta Metsola, EPP, and Ms Kashetu Kyenge, S&D). In the course of its work on this report, the Committee has heard from numerous experts in the area, focusing on 8 subject-matters:
1) Article 80 - Solidarity and fair sharing of responsibility, including search and rescue obligations;
2) Tackling criminal smuggling, trafficking and labour exploitation of irregular migrants;
3) Border management and visa-policy, including the role of Frontex and other relevant Agencies;
4) Developing safe and lawful routes for asylum seekers and refugees into the EU including the Union resettlement policy and corresponding integration policies;
5) The strategy on cooperation with third countries, in particular on regional protection programmes, resettlement, returns and to address the root causes of migration;
6) Developing adequate legal economic migration channels;
7) Analysis on how Home Affairs funds are spent in migration & development context, including emergency funds;
8) Effective implementation of the Common European Asylum System, including the role of EASO.
In the meanwhile, the European Commission has adopted, in May, its Communication “A European Agenda on Migration”, in which it announced the creation of hotspots, where relevant EU agencies would work on the ground with frontline Member States to swiftly identify, register and fingerprint incoming migrants. Hotspots are being set up in Italy and in Greece.
Against this background, the Inter-Ϸվary Committee Meeting will provide an opportunity for an in-depth discussion of the hotspots approach, together with the EU’s Justice and Home Affairs Agencies and the national Ϸվs of all Member States. It will furthermore allow Members of the LIBE Committee to have a meaningful exchange of views with Members of National Ϸվs on migration, asylum and border policies, to see how they are being discussed and dealt with at the national level.
