The President of the European Commission warned that 'we must be vigilant at all critical points and maintain close coordination between all the authorities'. In this context, he called for 'a process of analysis of what we have learned to improve Europe's resilience'.
European Commission PresidentUrsula von der Leyen stressed on Saturday afternoon that "we have a strong system"of border control in Europe, but that"it needs to be further strengthened"because of the Ceuta situation.
This was noted by the President after a video conference with the European Commissioner for the Interior, Magnus \u00A0Brunner, and the Commissioner for the Mediterranean, Dubravka Šuica , who ordered the Spanish and Moroccan authorities to assist in monitoring the migration crisis in Ceuta in recent days.
Von der Leyen welcomed the fact that "most of the people who arrived illegally have returned to Morocco, thanks to the effective work of the Spanish and Moroccan armed forces "and that" not a single person has reached the peninsula or the rest of the EU ".
'That shows why it is important to control Europe's borders. We have a strong system, but it needs to be further strengthened, 'said the German conservative politician.
He has also warned that 'we must be vigilant at all critical points of entry and close coordination between all the authorities', and in this context he has called for 'a process of analysis of the lessons learned to improve our European resilience'.
Finally, the head of the European Government has joined the call for an extraordinary videoconference to 'analyse what has happened', as the ministers of 22 European countries and thePresident of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, have requested in a letter. 'The fight against illegal migration requires solidarity and a unified European response,' said Von der Leyen.
