The document contains specific recommendations on reconsidering the current EU asylum policy, which were developed 25 years ago.

The signed document was sent to EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini with a request to discuss it on the upcoming EU foreign ministers meeting that will take place in Luxembourg on September 4 and 5.

The European Union is trying to withstand a massive crisis with hundreds of thousands undocumented migrants attempting to cross into the bloc fleeing violence and poverty in their home countries.
