Among other issues, he addressed the migration crisis stating that the is no other alternative for the EU than to act. He reminded MEPs that “Europe has made make the mistake in the past of distinguishing between Jews, Christians, Muslims. There is no religion, no belief, no philosophy when it comes to refugees.” He also confirmed that the European Commission will propose a legal migration package in early 2016 to “open legal channels for migration”
