Cooperation will focus in particular: — in the area of asylum on the development and implementation of national legislation to meet the standards of the 1951 Geneva Convention and the 1967 New York Protocol thereby to ensure that the principle of non-refoulement is respected. — in the field of legal migration, on admission rules and rights and status of the persons admitted.
