EU interior ministers back border tightening
The Interior Ministers of the European Union discussed, during a video conference, the developments of the migration crisis in Ceuta, which saw more than 60,000 migrants crossing last Thursday. They agreed to enhance the protection of external borders, increase returns, and develop cooperation with third countries, emphasizing that migration management is a shared responsibility requiring a unified European response. They also underscored the importance of intensifying efforts to combat migrant smuggling networks, strengthening early warning systems, and expanding cooperation with countries of origin and transit to improve crisis management and prevent future mass arrivals. Additionally, they expressed their support and solidarity with Spain, noting that the majority of migrants who crossed the border were successfully returned, and reaffirmed the EU's readiness to face these challenges comprehensively.
