EU migration chief Magnus Brunner warned that the bloc remains vulnerable to border control issues if reliant on the goodwill of a single neighbouring country.

EU vulnerable if border controls rely on neighbouring country's goodwill, migration chief says
  • Country:
  • European Union

​The ​European Union ‌is vulnerable if ​border controls depend ‌on the goodwill of one neighbouring country, EU migration chief ‌Magnus Brunner said on Thursday, ‌following the Ceuta border rush.

"One very important reminder ⁠from ​Ceuta ⁠is that to have control, we ⁠must cooperate with our ​neighbours, of course, but as ⁠long as control depends ⁠on ​the goodwill of one neighbouring state, we remain,(...) ⁠vulnerable", he said during ⁠an ⁠EU parliamentary meeting.
