Luxembourg has made "considerable efforts" to respond to Europe's refugee and migrant crisis but "more could be done" in ensuring access to housing, employment and inclusive education, according to the Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights.

During a visit to Luxembourg last week, Commissioner Nils Muižnieks said asylum applicants should systematically receive information on the progress of their claims and additional efforts should be made in identifying vulnerable new arrivals.
