MEPs adopted a report in which they ask to act quickly and coordinated to protect temporary to the refugees. Furthermore, EP urges to the Council to put in place an action plan for the resettlement of displacers and also believes that Frontex cannot be the main tool to help the Italian island of Lampedusa to cope the migration crisis in the Mediterranean.

On the report, EP points out that the only effective long-term solution to prevent a mass influx of migrants from unstable regions is to create jobs and improve living conditions in the countries of origin and transit. This would mean invoke the principle of solidarity and fair burden-sharing among all Member States on policies relating to the management of border checks, asylum and immigration, including the financial dimension. They propose that EU funds be targeted - both in origin and transit countries - at long-term projects to create jobs, support SMEs, provide microcredit facilities, empower women and minority groups and maximise local economic development. At the same time, sanctions should be imposed on countries which fail to respect their governance obligations under trade agreements. A similar conditionality clause should apply to EU development assistance and humanitarian aid.

Moreover, MEPs want to revoke the EU-Libya Cooperation Agenda on migration “as soon as there is a new transitional government willing to promote a democratic and human rights based implementation of the agreement" and also calls for the EU budget after 2013 to include "emergency and recovery funds" to allow a rapid response, and hence relief and assistance for migrants in distress as well as shelter in the EU for human rights defenders at risk.
