priorities for the common policy on illegal 
immigration Non-legislative action / 
Commission 
Communication The European Council in the Hague Programme underlined the need for solidarity and fair sharing of 
responsibility between the Member States in tackling the challenges posed by the management of migration 
flows. While progress has been achieved in many areas, a number of issues need to be pursued more vigorously, 
as the annual inflows of illegal migration into the EU are still considerable. The Communication aims to review the 
progress made since the last annual r eport (SEC(2004)1349) from October 2004, and, on that basis, to give 
further steer to the fight against illegal immigration by  suggesting a number of futu re political priorities.
