The arduous voyage of the "Aquarius" full of migrants, has highlighted the incapacity of EU countries and their Leaders, to co-ordinate their response when faced with an immigration crisis !
Each EU Member Country seems to have its own policies and conditions to determine who might qualify and be accepted as an immigrant or temporary visitor. At present there is no "standard EU definition" and likewise there are no centralised controls "by the EU" of its "Open Frontiers" with non-EU countries !
Each country therefore applies its own "selective" immigration Policy, to choose who can or not enter, to stay on a long or short term basis. The sporadic action by Brussels to allocate huge overflows of desperate refugees to EU member countries, is resented and resisted.
How and Where should Migrants register before embarking on a boat to come to the EU ?
When will the EU decide to monitor ALL the Frontiers and Coasts of the EU ?
Should this not be a "total-wide" EU responsibility with the total cost being shared by all EU country Members ?
When will there be reports that "Migrant smugglers" have been been arrested, even before their ships had left for the EU ?
Will this questions find an answer in the orientations Macron has launched with the agreement of the new Italian Prime Minister?
BUT how can Macron achieve his aims without coherent EU Laws and without serious EU "Frontier Controls"....
It is high time that all the 28 Leaders of the EU Countries coherently examine the "Problem of Migration" . Failure to do this will sooner or later lead to further "EXITS" by countries dissatisfied with the European Union !
