The European Asylum Support Office

• The EASO should promote closer cooperation among Member States to help to achieve further harmonisation based on best practices and should ultimately lead to better and fairer asylum systems in the EU.

• The EASO could benefit from the expertise of the European Parliament, UNHCR, and civil society by working closely with them.

• The EASO can provide practical assistance to Member States which receive high numbers of asylum applications, to ensure they provide quality asylum and reception conditions.

• The EASO could coordinate exchanges of information and other actions with respect to resettlement of refugees from third countries to the European Union.
