Twenty-two European leaders have written a letter to EU summit leaders regarding recent developments at the European Union’s external border in Ceuta. According to a statement from the Italian government, the document arises from the “need to prevent uncontrolled irregular crossings, combat migrant smuggling networks, eliminate any factors that might encourage new illegal entries, and ensure a unified and effective European response.”
Through this initiative, promoted by Italy and Denmark and signed by a total of twenty-two European Heads of State and Government, “the Irish Presidency of the Council of the European Union is asked to urgently convene an extraordinary videoconference of interior ministers for a joint assessment of the situation and the formulation of a coordinated European response.”
