CRIZA REFUGIAȚILOR ȘI EFECTUL EUROPEAN AL CĂLCÂIULUI LUI AHILE – NOI PROVOCĂRI ALE PRESIUNII MIGRAȚIONISTE ASUPRA UNIUNII EUROPENE
REFUGEE CRISIS AND THE EUROPEAN EFFECT OF THE ACHILLES HEEL - NEW CHALLENGES OF THE EUROPEAN UNION MIGRATORY PRESSURE

Summary/Abstract: The year 2015 has sorely tested the added value and legitimacy of the EU in responding to the refugee crisis. The public outcry and unprecedented levels of political and media attention to the dramatic experiences and images of asylum-seekers arriving, have put huge pressures on the European institutions and member state governments to show that they can meet the challenge. The European Commission and its partner organisations have an important role in advocating for and enabling durable solutions for refugees and IDPs, especially with regard to fulfilling the right of return to their countries of origin or habitual residence. The EC recognises that refugees and IDPs require targeted humanitarian aid combined with sustainable development assistance for effectively responding to their needs. The presence of refugees and other forced migrants can result in new opportunities and benefits for the national and local economy as they bring human capital, labour skills, demand for goods and services. Measures to harness the potential of refugees to drive development can not only benefit host countries, but also contribute to enhancing the quality of refugees' protection in strengthening their self-reliance.
