At a meeting of the Council’s permanent representatives committee (COREPER), Member States sealed their negotiating mandate on a regulation on crisis situations, including instrumentalisation of migration, and force majeure in the field of migration and asylum. This position will form the basis of negotiations between the Council presidency and the European Parliament.

Tijdens de Raad Justitie en Binnenlandse Zaken van vandaag steunden ministers onder andere de noodzaak om de externe dimensie van het EU-migratiebeleid te versterken om de migratie uitdagingen aan te pakken die de EU deelt met andere continenten en landen.
