Cecilia Malmström, European Commissioner for Home Affairs, warned in February 2011 that further unrest in North Africa would increase migration flows to Europe. As a result, and following a request from Italy, the European Union would coordinate border patrol missions in the Mediterranean. Ms Malmström also called for a new strategy to engage with North Africa which would help reduce migration pressures into the EU, by increasing trade and investment, but also by creating clearer paths for legal migration. |
