Brussels to enhance EU border controls
The European Union's Commissioner for Migration, Magnus Brunner, revealed a comprehensive plan to strengthen oversight of the EU member states' external borders following the events in Ceuta. The plan includes increasing the powers of Frontex, the European Border and Coast Guard Agency, and equipping it with a permanent, ready force. It also involves enhancing cooperation with member states, developing early warning systems, tightening measures against human traffickers, and providing greater support to countries of origin for migrants. Through these actions, the Union aims to reduce illegal crossings, which have decreased to their lowest levels since 2021, despite over 72,000 attempted breaches at Ceuta's borders in July. European countries are calling for stricter border controls after the surge of migrants and security-related tensions.
