EU needs to do more to tackle migrant smuggling – EU Johansson

The EU needs “to do more” to fight the illegal smuggling of migrants and asylum seekers into Europe. That’s according to the EU’s Home Affairs chief Ylva Johansson. She was speaking in Cyprus where she’s been discussing the impact of migration on the Mediterranean island.

Last year, the EU agreed on new rules to share the cost of hosting migrants more evenly across the bloc. The EU wants to limit the number of people using smugglers’ networks.

Commissioner Ylva Johansson says more needs to be done to tackle migrant smuggling.
