The EC restated its commitment with the United Nations Global Compact on Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration, which is going to be adopted at an Intergovernmental Conference in Marrakesh on 10-11 December 2018. Speaking on behalf of the HR/VP, commissioner for Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Management Christos Stylianides said “In our globalised world, human mobility can only be addressed effectively by the international community as a whole. It is a global phenomenon that requires global solutions. No country can manage this alone, but together we can set up a humane, dignified and secure mechanism for governing human mobility. This is why the Commission strongly supports the Global Compacts and will be actively engaging in their follow up.” Since the beginning of the negotiations of the Global Compact on Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration, European states have been actively participating on the discussion, which resulted in a document that largely reflects European objectives, according to an EC fact sheet.
