摘要

Key Points: 

• Member states should also make full use of vessels operated by NGOs.
• A comprehensive EU SAR mission implemented by authorities in member states and Frontex should be established, say MEPs.
• Parliament strongly condemns criminal smuggling and trafficking, whilst reiterating that safe and legal pathways, notably through resettlement, are the best way to avoid casualties at sea.
• MEPs also propose that more information about the dangers of this route should be disseminated to people in third counties.
