Migration
#TheFutureIsYours Managing migration through a predictable, balanced and reliable system
In the EU irregular migration tops the list of both citizen's concerns and political priorities. Despite some progress, the EU continues to undergo migration more than it controls it and few European leaders seem to realise the magnitude of the problem irregular migration poses both in terms of security and social cohesion. In the light of the recent events in Ceuta and the constant migratory pressure the EU faces, this event will analyse the situation and propose concrete solutions that are known but rarely applied.
Participants:
Mr. Rodrigo Ballester - Head of Center for European Studies MCC
Mr. Francesco Giubilei - MCC Visiting Fellow
Mr. Matteo Carnieletto - Editor in chief of InsideOver, foreign section of ilGiornale.it
Event report
In the EU irregular migration tops the list of both citizen's concerns and political priorities. Despite some progress, the EU continues to undergo migration more than it controls it and few European leaders seem to realise the magnitude of the problem irregular migration poses both in terms of security and social cohesion. During this event, both speakers pleaded for a less ideological and more pragmatic approach to migration and a firm political commitment towards strong borders and duly controlled migration flows. Concretely, the speakers proposed to strengthen Frontex’ means and political support, penalise the lack of cooperation of migrants abusing the asylum system, increase conditionality with other EU policies (notably development), rethink family reunification and apply stricter integration policies (a national competence). Stronger borders will make a stronger Europe.Related Ideas
