(1a) Migration is a worldwide and multidimensional phenomenon which has its origin in very many factors. Most migration nowadays is voluntary. However a growing number of people are forcibly displaced and need special protection because they are fleeing fragile states, conflicts and persecution. Challenges linked to the mobility of individuals should therefore be addressed in a holistic manner that takes account of all the dimensions to migration while prioritising its human dimension. It is essential that the European Union and its Member States guarantee safe, orderly and regular migration as advocated by the UN in the Global Compact for Migration and the Global Compact on Refugees.

Recital 1 b (new)
(1b) In a global and holistic approach to migration the movements of both EU nationals and of third country nationals need to be considered, alongside the number of third country nationals arriving in the European Union and those leaving it. In 2017, over 3.1 million residence permits were issued in the European Union, 27% for family reasons, 17% for studies, 32% for work and only 24% for other reasons, including humanitarian grounds. A more accurate view of migratory movements targeting the European Union can be obtained by looking at third country nationals returned to their country of origin and the grounds on which residence permits have been issued.

(2) The sharp increase of mixin forced migratory flowsion in 2015 and 2016 has put under pressure migration, asylum and border management systems and called for arevealed the structural limitations of the policy of welcoming refugees and migrants, and put under pressure migration, asylum and border management systems, particularly in Member States located at the Union's external borders. As European solidarity weakened, a supportive, coordinated, complete and effective European response ought to have been put in place that complied fully with the international obligations incumbent on Member States, particularly in the field of international protection.

Recital 2 a (new)
(2a) The sharp rise in the number of deaths at the borders, estimated at over 17 000 since 2014, has revealed the structural limitations of the Union's migration policy and the tools at its disposal, notably in Member States located on the Union's external borders, caused in part by a lack of European solidarity. The failure of relocation programmes and the inadequate implementation of resettlement programmes make strengthening Member States' reception, asylum, integration and migration systems absolutely essential, in order to predict and manage properly the arrival of migrants and set up safe and legal pathways such as humanitarian visas.

(3) The objective of Union policy in the field of migration is to replace irregular and uncontrolled flows with safe and well-managed pathways through a comprehensive approach addressing all aspects of immigrationshould be based on actual migrant figures, a comprehensive approach based on full respect for human rights and on principles of solidarity and responsibility in order to take account of all aspects of migration, namely all movements, both arrivals and departures, irrespective of the motivation and nationality of origin of each person concerned.

(4a) The Regulation should respect fundamental rights and observe the principles recognised by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Articles 2 and 6 of the Treaty on European Union (TEU) and reaffirmed in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union (the 'Charter'). In particular, the Regulation seeks to ensure full respect for human dignity, the right to life, the prohibition of torture and inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, the prohibition of trafficking in human beings, the right to liberty and security, the right to the protection of personal data, the right to asylum, the rights of the child, the right to privacy and to a family life and the right to an effective remedy.

(5) To ensure the effective implementation of the Union policies on immigration in all their aspects, consistent dialogue and cooperation should be pursued with key third countries of origin and transit of migrants and asylum seekersnot restricting these policies to forced migration and taking account in them of both the arrival and departure of third country nationals, consistent dialogue and cooperation should be pursued with key third countries, in order in particular to ensure migrants' human rights are promoted and protected. Such cooperation should provide for better management of immigration, including departures and returns, contribute to the stabilisation of migrants' flows, in full respect of human rights, including by addressing and effectively tackling the root causes of forced displacement and migration, and should support capacity to gather and share information, and prevent and counter migrant smuggling and trafficking in human beings, as well as asylum seekers' access toensure access to international protection.

Recital 6
(6) In light of the increasing demand for intelligence and information to support evidence-based policy making and operational responses, in addition to improving the EU's statistics tools in this field there is a need for immigration liaison officers to ensure that their insight and knowledge contribute fully to the establishment of a comprehensive situational picture on third countries.
Amendment 65 #

Recital 7
Recital 7
(7) The deployment of the current European Migration Liaison Officers to the key countries of origin and transit, as called upon by the conclusions of the special meeting of the Heads of States and Governments on 23 April 2015, was a first step towards enhancing the engagement with third countries on migration-related issues and stepping up coordination with immigration liaison officers deployed by Member States. Building on this experience, longer-term deployments of immigration liaison officers by the Commission to third countries are to be foreseen to support development, implementation and to maximise the impact of Union action on migration.

Recital 8
Recital 8
(8) The objective of this Regulation is to ensure better coordination and optimise utilisation of liaison officers deployed to third countries by Member States, the Commission and Union Agencies in the field of migration, and contribute to better management of migration and mobility in full compliance with humanitarian and human rights obligations in order to respond more effectively to the EU priorities of preventing and combatting illegal immigration and related cross- border criminality such as, smuggling of migrants and trafficking in human beings, facilitating return, readmission and reintegration activities, contributing to integrated management of the Union's external borders, as well as supporting management of legal immigration, including in the area of international protection, resettlement and pre-departure integration measures undertaken by Member States and the Union.
Amendment 73 #

Recital 10
Recital 10
(10) Taking into account that mandates and tasksliaison officers in charge of immigration liaison officers may overlap, due efforts should be made to better coordinate the work ofor human rights issues are deployed by different authorities and that their mandates and tasks may overlap, cooperation and the exchange of information between immigration liaison officers operating within the same third country or region should be better coordinated. Where immigration liaison officers are deployed directly to the Union's diplomatic missions or to Union agencies in a third country by the Commission, they should initiate and lead immigration liaison officers’' network in that third country.
Amendment 76 #

Recital 12
Recital 12
(12) AThe full list of immigration liaison officers deployed to third countries should therefore be established and updated regularly by the Steering Board.

Recital 14
(14) Special provisions should be made for a wider Union capacity building action for immigration liaison officers, through a development, in cooperation with relevant Union Agencies, of common core curricula and pre-deployment training courses, and for supporting the reinforcement of the operational capacity of networks of immigration liaison officers. The training courses shall in particular raise awareness of respect for fundamental rights and especially the right to asylum.
Amendment 81 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 15
Recital 15
(15) Networks of immigration liaison officers should avoid duplicating the work of Union Agencies and other Union instruments or structures and should bring an added value to what they already achieve in terms of collecting and exchanging information in the area of immigration, in particular by focusing on operational aspects. They should act as facilitators and providers of information from third countries to support Union Agencies in their functions and tasks, in particular where Union Agencies have not yet established cooperative relations with third countries. Closer cooperation between networks of immigration liaison officers and relevant Union Agencies should be established to that effect.
Amendment 85 #

Recital 16
Recital 16
(16) Member States authorities should ensure that strategic and operational analytical products of the Union Agencies in relation to illegal immigration, return, cross-border criminalitymigration statistics, human trafficking or international protection and resettlement effectively reach immigration liaison officers in third countries and that the information provided by immigration liaison officers is shared with the relevant Union Agencies – in particular the European Border and Coast Guard Agency, Europol and the European Union Asylum Agency, the European Union Asylum Agency and the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights within the scope of their respective legal frameworks.
