We have all been shocked and deeply saddened by the tragic human cost of the migration crisis – which continues to develop dramatically. Such is the scale, complexity and evolving nature of the crisis, that identifying and implementing workable solutions is a challenge for us all. While some other EU partners and neighbouring States have had to face disproportionate pressures, all actions by the authorities in any Member State should respect and reflect the high human rights standards we in Europe expect and require of each other, and I will be expressing that view to my EU colleagues of that when we meet next month.
