BRUSSELS, Dec. 13 (Xinhua) -- Border control and migration policy were among the six policy areas, in which proposals should be fast-tracked in legislative process for 2017, according to a statement released by the European Union (EU) on Tuesday.
The legislative priorities were set out in a joint declaration, the first of its kind, which were signed by chiefs of the EU's three main institutions.
It was signed by President of the European Parliament Martin Schulz, Slovak Prime Minister and holder of the rotating Council Presidency Robert Fico, and European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker.
"Today's Joint Declaration is a new milestone in the way the EU can deliver better and faster on our common challenges," said Juncker.
"It is the first time in EU history that the three European Institutions have agreed on a limited number of initiatives of major political importance that should be fast-tracked in the legislative process," he added.
By setting up priority areas, the EU aims to better protect the bloc's citizens through measures like the entry-exit system, smart borders and the European travel information authorization system (ETIAS) and the control of firearms.
In light of the migration crisis starting from the autumn of 2015, the EU intends to reform its migration policy.
The EU also plans to address the root causes of migration by enhancing investment and job creation in partner countries.
Moreover, the EU expects to create more jobs, establish a connected digital single market, and deliver on its ambitious climate change policy.

RIO DE JANEIRO, Aug. 9 (Xinhua) -- Brazilian female athletes are ruling the Rio Olympic Games, leaving men's teams behind by miles.
On Monday, judoka Rafaela Silva made history by winning the first gold medal of a Brazilian athlete in the Brazilian edition of the Games - and so far, the only medal in judo, a sport in which Brazilians usually have good results.
Silva, a black woman who grew up on the Cidade de Deus slum, coincidentally located quite near the arena where she was crowned Olympic champion, overcame a number of challenges to be a professional judoka, and faced a string of racist threats when she was eliminated from the 2012 Games in London, which almost made her abandon the sport. Her victory is regarded as an example of how sports can be life-changing for unprivileged children.
In team sports, women are also winning most matches: the soccer team's fantastic results, which include a 5-1 victory over the strong Swedish team, are leaving Brazilians proud and loud.
The team's greatest star, Marta, won the FIFA World Player of the Year award five consecutive times; forwarder Cristiane is the highest Brazilian scorer in Olympic Games, including both male and female players; at 38, midfielder Formiga is playing her sixth Olympic Games - she has been in all editions since women's soccer was included in the Games.
The fact that the men's soccer team is having pitiful performances makes the ladies' participation even more memorable: internet memes comparing the women'team star Marta and men's team start Neymar are abundant in social networks, highlighting Marta's accomplishments and Neymar's poor performances.
The volleyball team has so far won two matches, as did beach volleyball teams, and the handball team has had good results as well, beating Romania and the strong Norwegian team, regarded as a favorite for gold. The women's gymnastics team made the team finals, and two athletes made individual finals.
Brazilians are not the only female athletes thrilling the crowd in these Olympic Games: 18-year-old Yusra Mardini survived an escape from Syria by swimming for three hours to Greece, while she and other three people pushed a sinking boat full of people, saving their lives. Mardini, who now lives in Germany, competed under the Olympic flag in the refugee's team, and her life story won her many fans in Brazil.
Other women already made history in this edition of the Olympic Games: judoka Majlinda Kelmendi won the first Olympic medal for Kosovo in Brazil, which does not recognize Kosovo's independence.
Doaa Elgobashy and Nada Meawad became the first Egyptian beach volleyball players to compete in the Olympics, and played with shirts and pants and even a hijab, in Elgobashy's case, in a stark contrast from other players, who wear bikinis. The images of the Egyptian team and their adversaries, a German pair, with so different clothes, became a symbol of diversity in the competition.
