How does Europe deal with immigration? Isn’t it time for the EU to set up an improved, common, comprehensive approach to migration management and come up with long-term solutions? What changes should be made? Does the Dublin II Regulation need revision? Does the new European Border Surveillance system, Eurosur, represent a real solution? What about the human rights of the refugees?
