Paragraph 3
3. Considers that the issue of migration must be prioritised in a context in which more than half of all asylum applications in the EU are rejected in a final court decision3; takes the view, therefore, that we must focus on making returns more effective by signing readmission agreements and issuing consular laissez-passers and are, therefore, unfounded; recalls that only a minority of unsuccessful asylum seekers are actually removed from European soil; asks therefore for the focus to be on making returns more effective by signing readmission agreements and issuing consular laissez-passers, but also on implementation of development programmes to combat the root causes of illegal migration and reintegrate asylum seekers on a long-term basis into the society to which they are returned; _________________ 3 Source: EUROSTAT
