EU Action Plan against migrant smuggling inquiry

Inquiry

Following the unprecedented numbers of migrants entering into Europe this year, the House of Lords EU Home Affairs Sub-Committee published a report calling for a more balanced humanitarian and law enforcement response in the EU's fight against migrant smuggling.

The European Commission adopted a wide-ranging European Agenda on Migration on 13 May 2015, with a view in part to addressing the current refugee crisis, the greatest humanitarian problem to have faced the European Union since its foundation.

The Committee intends that its report will inform the Commission's review of EU legislation on migrant smuggling, due to be published in 2016 along with proposed reforms.
