I refer, for example, to the undeniable need to give a boost to Community legislation regulating aspects as important as family reunification, asylum procedure, or reception conditions for asylum seekers, in order to achieve a proper organisation of migratory flows, which effectively combats people trafficking in human need and who are responsible for the tragic deaths that are taking place in some parts of European territory, such as the Andalusian and other Spanish coast ...[+++]lines.

-encouraging asylum seekers to retain their documentation (i.a. accelerate asylum procedure when an applicant refuses to show or destroys his documents without a reasonable excuse); -improving ways of dealing with undocumented asylum seekers (i.a. information about the ways and means asylum seekers enter the EU to be taken into account by units responsible for the operation of the Convention); -enhancing speed and quality of information exchange (i.a. setting formal time limits for responding to urgent requests for information); -considering bilateral exchange of the fingerprints of asylum seekers pending entry into force of the Eu ...[+++]rodac Convention; -fingerprinting illegal entrants where national law would allow this and exchanging such information; - ensuring flexible application of Convention criteria and clarifying matters of interpretation; -promoting greater liaison and cooperation among Member States (i.a. more contacts among practitioners of the Convention, possible exchange of liaison officers).
