On 8 October, 2008, the Commission adopted new initiatives to reinforce the EU's comprehensive approach to migration. It included a Communication on 'Strengthening the global approach to migration: increasing coordination, coherence and synergies', a Report to the 2008 Ministerial Conference on Integration on 'Strengthening actions and tools to meet integration challenges' and a Communication reporting on the application of Directive 2003/86 on the right to family reunification. The proposals presented build on the principles suggested in the recent Communication on A Common Immigration Policy for Europe and provided the first building blocks for the actions thereof proposed, which should also be taken on board of the European Pact on Immigration and Asylum.
