Their ever increasing flows, the heated debates and the powerful tensions that this influx has generated in Europe make it more important than ever to mark World Refugee Day, to commemorate the many refugees who have lost their lives while seeking safety and to reflect on how best to respond to a trend which, as studies show, is likely to continue.

A common migration policy is needed in Europe

"Over the last two years war, persecution and poverty have forced more than one million people to seek refuge in Europe, following dangerous routes and risking their lives.
