EU offers to foot bill for hosting illegal migrants

Africa, Blog, Human rights

The European Commission offers to foot the bill for taking in illegal migrants from boats in the Mediterranean, seeking to convince governments to share the burden of migrant flows from Africa after Italy’s new government closed the country’s ports to NGO Mediterranean shuttle vessels.

Now more than ever we need common, European solutions on #migrationEU. We are ready to support Member States and third countries in better cooperating on disembarkation of those rescued at sea. We need to be united – not just now, but also in the long run. https://t.co/t59kJ43Ppx pic.twitter.com/HAnwERhWab

Under the proposal, the Union’s common budget would pay out 6,000 euros for each hosted illegal migrant, as well as funding the cost of expert personnel to help process mostly African migrants seeking asylum in Europe.
