This In Focus argues that without cooperation between the EU member states, the situation of the current refugee crisis is not going to improve. The EU’s dysfunctional asylum system, which is based on 28 national systems, needs to be reformed, including by allowing asylum applications in the countries of origin. Member states need to start supplying Frontex with personnel and equipment to better protect the border. The EU also needs a new deal between host countries and newcomers on the refugees’ integration into European societies.
