EU to propose emergency protection against massive migrant flows, von der Leyen says
The plan would let member states temporarily suspend standard return procedures under strictly defined criteria after more than 72,000 people crossed into Ceuta, officials said.
- On Wednesday, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen proposed an emergency framework during her State of the European Union address at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France.
- Leyen designed the framework to offer protection against "engineered and weaponised" mass movements of migrants in strictly defined situations, addressing sudden massive inflows.
- Activation of the European Emergency Response Framework requires strict criteria and allows "time-limited and strictly defined flexibility in standard procedures" during exceptional circumstances.
- While emphasizing that the European Union will never compromise on protecting its borders, Leyen stated the bloc must simultaneously comply with its fundamental values and rights.
- Commission President Ursula emphasized that Europe needs the necessary means to protect its borders at all times, framing the proposal as essential for the union's security.
