"Although the movements of persons into, out of and within each EU State vary, our societies share similar migration challenges and opportunities. This is all the more significant for the EU as an area without internal borders. Therefore, EU countries have decided to join forces.

This approach is underpinned by the General Programme "Solidarity and the Management of Migration Flows." (Quoted from article)
