European Commission green paper

ICMC and organisations representing Churches and agencies throughout Europe that particularly concerned with migrants and refugees jointly present comments on the European Union's aim to create "a more accessible, equitable and effective international protection regime.”

The Commission’ Green Paper touches on a wide range of issues and we appreciate the attention given to all areas of refugee protection. While we would much appreciate a common asylum system to be developed as speedily as possible, we would like to underline the need to identify first and second steps and to elaborate a comprehensive action plan with clear steps in the coming years.

In addition to quality work on the legal framework, cooperation and coordination, as well as monitoring capacities, of the European Commission need to be strengthened. We would hope that the communication capacity of the Commission at European, national and international level could be enhanced to this effect.
