Origin - 2015 - Fourth part-session

In the draft resolution, paragraph 10.1, replace the words "avoiding a narrow emphasis on border control and security" with the following words:

"providing for a long-term, sustainable solution to the migration crisis".

Explanatory note

Until the root causes of migration are dealt with, the Schengen borders must be protected in order to avoid the uncontrolled influx of migrants to the EU and to indentify persons entitled to refugee status. During this process, security issues must be taken into due consideration.
