European Union "Stockholm programme"

BRUSSELS July 2009—Faith-based organisations from across Europe jointly present suggestions to the EU Stockholm Programme, which shall determine the direction of European Union policies in the area of freedom, security and justice for the next five years.

As Christian organisations, we are deeply committed to the inviolable dignity of the common good, of global solidarity and of the promotion of a society that welcomes strangers.  We also share the conviction that the core values of the European Union as an area of freedom and justice must be reflected by day-to-day politics. It is against this background that several concrete suggestions are made with regard to respecting the human rights of migrants and refugees; legal migration; protection for those in need; integration and financial resources.

Among other elements, the coalition specifically cites the need for a "truly pro-active and common immigration policy", which includes provisions on family reunification to effectively guarantee the right to family life.
