During the summit organised by the European Council, the leaders of EU countries are to look at how Europe and Africa can work together on migration. "Let us use the opportunity offered by the Valletta Summit wisely" Schulz told the Maltese Parliament yesterday,, "let us stop patching up short-term solutions and instead come up with a comprehensive, long-term migration policy together with our African partners."
The EP President called for measures such as investing in development, supporting good governance, resolving conflicts and boosting local economies through trade. "Our strategy can never consist of fighting migrants," he said. "Our strategy must consist of fighting the root causes of migration: conflict and poverty."
