In this text, JRS Europe, together with the Christian Group, presents its comments and recommendations on the Recommendation on Search and Rescue (SAR) of the EU New Pact on Asylum and Migration and on the guidance on the application of EU rules on prevention of the facilitation of unauthorized entry, transit and residence. 

The organisations illustrate the positive aspects as well as their concerns on both texts and put forward their proposals to adopt a truly comprehensive approach to migrant smuggling and deaths at the EU borders.
