   AJ. whereas migration Supprimé: can contribute to sustainable development and inclusive growth both in countries of origin and in destination countries, as well as within and across regions; whereas migration has an economic impact both on the country of destination and the country of origin; whereas this impact may be seen in migrants’ contribution to the public finances, employment and job creation, as well as in the role of diaspora communities in supporting the economic development of their countries of origin; Ajouté: generates serious economic, social and demographic costs for countries of origin, in particular through the loss of working-age populations, skilled workers, students, entrepreneurs and professionals; whereas large-scale emigration accelerates brain drain and deprives partner countries of the human capital required for their own stability, industrialisation and long-term prosperity; whereas development cooperation must not be used as an instrument to organise the permanent transfer of human capital from partner countries to the EU; whereas cooperation with third countries should instead aim to anchor populations locally, strengthen domestic opportunities and reduce the economic, social and security incentives for irregular departures;

   Déposé par Mieke Andriese, Mathilde Androuët, Gerolf Annemans +80 · Members

   Ajouté: 1a.

   … the prevention of the exploitation of migrants by criminal networks and migrant Supprimé: smugglers, as well as by providing safer alternatives through the creation of legal channels for safe and regular migration and labour mobility; underlines that strict border control without alternative legal pathways for migration shifts migration routes, introducing different steps into the journey and new transit countries, thus increasing the precariousness of the journey and the exposure of migrants to smuggling networks, extortion and violence; Ajouté: smugglers; condemns any collaboration, whether direct or indirect, with non-governmental organisations (NGOs) or other organisations related to human trafficking networks, notably those that facilitate smuggling operations in international waters far away from European coasts or disseminate information enabling migrants to circumvent Member States’ immigration laws;

   Déposé par Mieke Andriese, Mathilde Androuët, Gerolf Annemans +80 · Members

   Ajouté: 33a. Calls on the Commission to make development support for partner countries strictly conditional on effective cooperation on combating mass migration, including the prevention of irregular departures, consular identification, the issuing of travel documents, the systematic acceptance of returns and readmissions, and the fight against trafficking and smuggling networks; stresses that EU funding should be regularly assessed; calls on the Commission to systematically apply mechanisms for the suspension, reduction or reallocation of funding in such circumstances;
