Recital 1
(1) The Union, in constituting an area of freedom, security and justice, should ensure, to the extent that the Treaties allow it, the absence of internal border controls for personsthe citizens of the Member States, and frame a common policy on asylum, immigration and external border control, based on solidarity between Member States, which is fair towards third- country nationals.

(3) The comprehensive approach should bring together policies in the areas of asylum, migration management, returns, external border protection and partnership with relevant third countries, recognising that the effectiveness of the overall approach depends on all components being jointly addressed and in an integrated manner. The comprehensive approach should ensure that the Union has at its disposal specific rules to effectively manage migration including a) a mechanism for transferring asylum seekers to safe third countries, adjacent to the asylum seekers' countries of origin, b) the triggering of a compulsory solidarity mechanism and c) that all the necessary measures are put in place to prevent crisis to happen.

Recital 6
Recital 6
(6) A mass influx of persons crossing the border irregularly and within a short period of time, especially when organized by a third country intending to intervene politically within the EU, may lead to a situation of crisis in a particular Member State. That may also have consequences for the functioning of the asylum and migration system, not only in that Member State but in the Union as a whole, due to unauthorised movements and the lack of capacity in the Member State of first entry to process the applications for international protection of such third-country nationals. It is necessary to lay down specific rules and mechanisms that should enable effective action to address such situations.
