Maybe some extra standardisation is needed by ATC to avoid confusion by those with minimum English.

What about some standard phraseology from the pilots soon after a missed approach is initiated, be it a lazy one well out on an approach or during almost May Day circumstances off the runway, which should then prompt ATC to transmit ONLY a brief acknowledgement in recognition of a likely frenzy developing on the flight deck. Sort out other traffic first which will assist with situation awareness for those now embarking on an unexpected diversion.

There should also be a recognition that pilot's hands/feet-on skills are deteriorating as they rely increasingly on automatics.
