The justice and interior ministers of the 15 Member States, meeting in Luxembourg on 25 and 26 April, vowed to fight religious intolerance after a wave of attacks on Jews in several European countries. The ministers also agreed to establish the same reception standards for asylum seekers everywhere in the EU in order to prevent immigrants from seeking refugee status in Member States that offer the best possible conditions.
