Recital 29
(29) It is essential to further step up cooperation on migration with partner countries, reaping the benefits of well- managed and regular migration and effectively addressing irregular migration. Such cooperation should contribute to ensuring access to international protection, and to address the flight of human and intellectual capital from these partner countries. Such cooperation should contribute to encouraging people to believe that they can achieve great things at home and to fight against the belief that Europe necessarily has something better to offer, addressing the root causes of irregular migration, enhancing border management and pursuing efforts in the fight against irregular migration, trafficking in human beings and migrant smuggling, and working on returns, readmission and reintegration where relevant, on the basis of mutual accountability and full respect of humanitarian and human rights obligations. Therefore, third countries’ effective cooperation with the Union in this area should be an integral element in the general principles of this Regulation. An increased coherence between migration and development cooperation policies is important to ensure that development assistance supports partner countries to manage migration more effectively. This Regulation should contribute to a coordinated, holistic and structured approach to migration, maximising the synergies and applying the necessary leverage.
