鈥淓urope needs to create innovative mobility avenues that will incentivize migrants to avoid having recourse to smugglers:
- On the one hand, it should adopt a massive resettlement policy over the coming five to six years to respond all the Syrians and Eritreans in need of durable solutions for themselves and their children, just as was done for many Indochinese three decades ago.
