One could again notice in the recent days
that the EU has no common policy on immigration. The states still look at the
issue as a national matter and not as a common challenge. The resources made
available to FRONTEX, the agency charged with the EU border policing are
clearly insufficient. Moreover, the leaders do not take a comprehensive
approach and deal with the issue with one tool only - border control - when it
is clear that other measures are necessary. Without a combination of
approaches, combining policing with diplomacy, development assistance,
strategic communications, and an integration policy, we will continue to see the
misery boats crossing the Mediterranean in search of the next tragedy.
