ITEMS DEBATED
Migration
The Council discussed migration issues, in particular the situation in the Mediterranean. Ministers
confirmed a strong commitment to act so as to prevent tragedies like the recent events in the
Mediterranean.
Work will be taken forward along three strands:
–
the fight against organised crime networks and human traffickers. Several options
were discussed, including stepping up work on the routes of travel used by migrants
and enhanced police cooperation on counter-measures against smugglers;
more efficient efforts to save lives at sea by reinforcing Frontex activities, in
particular the Triton and Poseidon operations in the Mediterranean. For this, further
funds for Frontex, more assets for both operations as well as an enlargement of their
operational area will be needed. A sustainable and more long-term approach should
be taken to search and rescue obligations;
a fairer sharing of responsibilities regarding resettlement and relocation projects. The
Commission announced that it would launch an initiative for an EU-wide voluntary
pilot project on resettlement offering a number of places to persons in need of
protection.
