Solidarity and Fairness Overhauling European Refugee and Asylum Policy

I have to say I very strongly disagree with “rejecting” FRONTEX.

Frontex is doing many mistakes, but our approach should be to reform, make better control mechanisms etc., not to just plainly say we don’t want it at all. The EU has many, many problems, too, but we don’t want to disban it.

If we take the current text, could you indicate what points are you missing, ideally? I am thinking that the children’s protection migh be added.

Migration

Pirates want to pay special attention to the stabilization of conflict outbreaks and fragile states, as their instability is a source of problems for the entire international community. Conflict resolution has to be based on respect for International Law.

Policies dealing with migration and asylum have to respect the human dignity of migrants and asylum seekers. Pirates demand a common European immigration policy that:

  • enables ways of legal migration to the european labour market,
  • values language skills and other given skills of the applicants positively in the process,
  • recognizes given certificates and professional qualifications in a simplified way,
  • enables member states to adjust their requirements according to their situation and needs.

Asylum

Pirates demand a common European Asylum Policy that implements the following:

  • ensures freedom of establishment in Europe for those whose application was approved;
  • promotes the possibility of family reunification first for those whose application was approved;
  • possibilities for applications on asylum should be introduced even outside of Europe and if accepted help ought to be offered.
