European Agenda on Migration

European Commission sets out a common framework for managing migration, combining immediate crisis measures with structural reforms.

On 13 May 2015, the European Commission published the European Agenda on Migration (COM/2015/240), outlining both emergency measures (search and rescue, relocation/resettlement proposals, action against smuggling) and longer-term steps on asylum, borders and legal migration.

The agenda framed migration as a shared EU responsibility and set the baseline for the policy debates that followed during the 2015–2016 crisis.
