Agreements or arrangements may be concluded by the Union with third countries, without prejudice to the division of competences between the Member States and the Union. Such Union-level instruments can contribute towards providing a common Union legal and procedural framework for cooperation on asylum and migration, ensuring consistent implementation of Union law and standards, and reinforcing mutual trust between Member States in the application of the concept of safe third country.
