Concerns of Mediterranean countries/ EU Commission starts work on migration pact

The European Commission is working to resolve concerns that Cyprus, Greece, Italy, Malta and Spain, the so-called "Med 5", have highlighted in a letter regarding an Anglo-French pact on migration that is under negotiation, an EU spokesman said today.

The letter from Med 5 to the Commission mentions "serious concerns about the possible consequences of the agreement for other EU countries, especially those on the front line," EU sources told European media.

The letter highlighted problems with the fact that the agreement is being negotiated outside the EU framework and that it could increase migratory pressure on the EU's southern border, according to sources.

An EU official said Italy and Spain are the main orchestrators of the letter, while Cyprus and Greece supported it mainly out of solidarity with their Mediterranean countries.

Under EU law, irregular migrants must apply for asylum in the first EU country they enter. Many of those who reach the UK after crossing the Mediterranean either follow the Balkan route or have passed through several EU countries before arriving in France. /CNA
