[FR] The EU’s migration strategy: a welcome new impetus

The publication of the Commission’s agenda on migration comes at a difficult time, both in human and political terms. It was a delicate task for the Juncker Commission, as it had to act quickly and had limited room for manoeuvre.

This commentary by António Vitorino and Yves Pascouau highlights the positive contributions of this new agenda in terms of solidarity and long-term vision, in three areas:

• Confirmation of the existing framework: a pragmatic agenda
• Long-term vision: an agenda that usefully broadens the debate on migration
