Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, alongside Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten, convened an informal meeting with several European Union member states to discuss new strategies for tackling irregular migration. This gathering took place on the sidelines of a broader EU summit and emphasized the need for enhanced measures at the EU’s external borders.
Meloni underscored the urgency of maintaining robust vigilance at these borders, especially in light of recent developments in Ceuta. She advocated for a revision of existing European legislation aimed at improving the procedures for detaining irregular migrants during border processing, highlighting the necessity of making current rules more efficient.
The discussions at the meeting centered around strengthening cooperation among member states to better manage migration and ensure effective implementation of existing regulations. This collaborative effort signals a commitment to addressing the challenges posed by irregular migration through collective action and legislative refinement.
