Vice-President of the Commission to Promote a European Way of Life, Margaritis Schinas, said new immigration and asylum policies should be implemented across Europe, stressing the need for EU member-states to pool resources in this regard despite the challenges they are likely to face during negotiations.
Schinas said host countries cannot bear alone the heavy weight of migration and asylum challenges, saying a new agreement which will be put forth by the European Commission in the next few weeks calls for cooperation between countries of origin and transit in order to protect migrants and establish a joint administration capable of protecting borders.
