EU Chief Calls for 'Emergency' Migration Tool Amid Crisis in Spain's Ceuta
The framework would let the European Union act in exceptional cases and strengthen border protection after 55% fewer irregular arrivals over two years, von der Leyen said.
- On Wednesday, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen proposed an emergency framework during her State of the European Union address at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France.
- Leyen designed the framework to offer protection against "engineered and weaponised" mass movements of migrants in strictly defined situations, addressing sudden massive inflows.
- Activation of the European Emergency Response Framework requires strict criteria and allows "time-limited and strictly defined flexibility in standard procedures" during exceptional circumstances.
- While emphasizing that the European Union will never compromise on protecting its borders, Leyen stated the bloc must simultaneously comply with its fundamental values and rights.
- Commission President Ursula emphasized that Europe needs the necessary means to protect its borders at all times, framing the proposal as essential for the union's security.
