Migration: Congress adopts report on the role of local authorities in reception and integration

30.03.2017

Local authorities are in the front line when it comes to dealing with the increase in the number of migrants and refugees arriving in Europe and must have adequate resources to meet these needs. 

That was the conclusion reached by Congress members at their 32nd session in Strasbourg on 28 March 2017, on examining a report by György Illes (Hungary, ILDG) and Yoomi Rentröm (Sweden, SOC), with the participation of Statement by Tomáš Boček, Special Representative of the Secretary General on migration and refugees, and Malgorzata Galinska (Poland), youth delegate. The report emphasises the need for all levels of government to co-ordinate their response in order to put in place efficient reception policies that also ensure respect for human rights.
