Paragraph 8
8. Welcomes the fact that the Commission recognises the need to ensure coherence with other policies that have an impact on international protection; calls therefore on the Commission to support and introduce initiatives to review and adapt all border management policies and practices such as FRONTEX and EUROSUR to guarantee refugees' access to protection in the EU and full respect for the principle of non- refoulement at the EU's external borders. In addition, stresses that the duty to render assistance as enshrined in the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) is legally binding upon Member States, the EU and FRONTEX.
