Amendment 12 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital -1 (new)
(-1) Migration is a global and multifaceted phenomenon whose origin lies in multiple factors and nowadays the majority of migration is voluntary. However, a growing number of people fleeing instability in their countries, conflicts and persecution are subjected to forced displacement and are in need of specific protection. The challenges associated with the movement of people should therefore be approached holistically, taking into account the scale of migration and focussing on its human aspect. It is essential for the Union and its Member States to guarantee safe, orderly and steady migration, as advocated by the UN under the framework of the Global Compacts for Migration and on Refugees.
