 I think it should be abundantly clear to all of us by now that safe and ordered immigration is unlikely to happen spontaneously. If more evidence was required, the last few months have also made clear that we are still very poorly equipped to address the extreme vulnerabilities of many people on the move. Meanwhile, our consultations over the same period of time have brought to light the enormous opportunities that migration represents and how increased international cooperation will actually allow millions of people in origin as well as in destination countries to harvest its benefits. Hence the importance of this process and the responsibility we all share to bring it to a successful conclusion.
