Paragraph 6
6. Stresses the value of EU election observation missions as the first important step in any process of democratisation and good governance, and believes that such missions should be part of a broader framework of support for a long-term democratisation process; underlines, in this respect, that it is crucial to ensure an adequate follow-up for the implementation of the recommendations made by EU electoral observation missions; highlights the importance of mediation and conflict- prevention and resolution strategies and of institution- and capacity-building for regional organisations, such as the African Union (AU), which plays an important role in peace-keeping and peace-building operations; believes that the support for the AU should include the development of an effective border-control capacity and support for its capacity to fight the exploitation of irregular migration and to provide relief for irregular migrants in situations of distress; considers that the effective strengthening of regional organisations as multipliers of regional peace and stability will foster regional integration and the emergence of cross- border economic areas;

6a. Notes that progress has been made in the implementation of the Global Approach to Migration which aims to promote comprehensive partnerships with countries of origin and transit and encourage synergies between migration and development; underlines the need to improve further the use of the main tools of the Global Approach to Migration (mobility partnerships, migratory missions, migration profiles, cooperation platforms); stresses the continuing need to put migration policy objectives at the centre of the political dialogue with countries of origin and of transit, as well as the need to enhance political coherence in this respect, in particular with development policy; is of the opinion that the various dialogue processes should be rationalised, while the synergies between migration and development should be strengthened; believes that efforts should be stepped up in order to support development projects in the countries of origin and transit that raise their living standard and increase their regulatory and institutional capacities, as well as their infrastructure in order to effectively manage migratory flows, while ensuring respect of the international standards of protection and the application of the principle of non-refoulement;
