Church groups urges EU to change approach to migrants rescued at seaThe heads of EU institutions are being called upon by European Church groups to change their approach to asylum and migration, particularly where it concerns the rescue of migrants at sea. "It is against this background that we address you today on the issue of a comprehensive, protection and human rights oriented EU asylum and migration policy." Elsewhere, the letter claims that a well-organised migration system can contribute to the wealth and social harmony of the EU. CEC President Rev Christian Krieger said that Christmas was a reminder of Jesus' experience as a refugee in Egypt. He said that "this remembrance should inspire us for a 'fresh start' in European asylum and migration policy – as promised by the European Commission President von der Leyen".
