The EU has developed a new approach to better manage all aspects of migration. It aims to combat irregular migration and smuggling, save lives and secure the EU's external borders while still attracting talent and skills.
A framework is needed for legal migration for the purposes of work, family reunification, study, research, training, integration and long-term residents.
The EU helps its member countries in saving lives at sea and securing Europe's external borders. The Frontex agency coordinates surveillance and risk analysis.
