Elspeth Guild critically engages with the inclusion of border control and migration management objectives in the EU’s migration agenda vis-à-vis third countries. She calls, amongst others, for a stronger role of the European External Action Service in the framing of EU relations with third countries on migration, and a better monitoring of human rights safeguards as guaranteed in the EU Charter.
This chapter is part of the publication ‘From Tampere 20 to Tampere 2.0: Towards a new European consensus on migration’, which takes stock of the EU’s migration and asylum policies 20 years after the historic 1999 Tampere European Council conclusions. It argues that solidarity and the implementation of common policies are the two building blocks for a new European consensus on migration. The book is the final result of a year-long research project conducted by the European Policy Centre together with Odysseus Academic Network, European Migration Network Finland and the Friedrich Naumann Foundation.
