The event aimed to discuss how European agencies produce and present their expert knowledge and how they should use their field of operations and analyses to support and intervene on political issues. EFSAS made valuable comments illustrating the disturbing repercussions for the West, especially EU, because of growing extremism in South Asia, whereby extremists abuse humanitarian crises around the world, and the asylum- and migration laws of Europe.
