In close cooperation with UNHCR and IOM, all available EU and Member State instruments and incentives should be used for tackling root causes, supporting refugees and displaced persons in the regions, building capacity for migration management, eradicating smuggling and trafficking, reinforcing border control and cooperation on search and rescue, addressing legal migration, and ensuring return and readmission. The Conclusions of the European Council on the topic of migration, from its meeting of 24 June 2021, exclusively address the cooperation with third States, whether of origin or of transit. Moreover, regarding the cooperation with third States, to which the Pact attributes particular importance, we can observe a number of initiatives that anticipate future formal agreements. Nonetheless, on a technical level, the legislative machinery is working, and within the EU Council, the issues on which there is clearly no consensus between Member States are coming to light. The overall impression is that no real progress in negotiating the elements of the Pact has been achieved during the Portuguese presidency of the EU Council, and that there is basically a standstill, partly due to the German elections on 26 September 2021 and the uncertainty about the orientation of the future Federal Government.
AND YET IT MOVES SIGNIFICANCE UPDATE
The other themes on which we will try to provide an update regarding the various positions expressed relate to the proposed Regulation on the Management of Asylum and Migration (RAMM), as well as the border and screening procedures.
