Stresses that the persistent instability and conflicts in the EU's neighbourhood have a serious impact on the mass influx of migrants; believes that a genuine response to the migration crisis in the Mediterranean will come only from tackling the geopolitical and socio-economic root causes, namely poverty, instability, wars, state failure, persecution, violations of human rights and natural disasters, which will require strategic leadership from the EU, in cooperation with key regional powers, in restoring a stable security order in the wider Middle East;

Paragraph 6 a (new)
6a. Calls on the Council, the Commission and the EEAS to engage regional powers in the pursuit of a sustainable security arrangement in North Africa and the Middle East, including a UN-sanctioned mechanism of consultations and guarantees that would allow for effective multilateral cooperation on state-building and security governance in post-conflict settings or failed states such as Syria, Libya or Yemen, thus addressing the root- causes of the refugee and migration crisis; in this respect, commends the EU's support for the UN-led mediation efforts in Libya, but calls for closer and more constructive engagement of regional actors, above all Saudi Arabia and Egypt, to make the state-building process sustainable; is concerned by the continuing lack of any viable EU strategy to counter ISIS, as well as by the EU's absence from ongoing diplomatic efforts to the end the civil war in Syria;
