Illegal immigration: Civil Liberties Committee advocates rapid reaction teams

Expert rapid reaction teams may be formed to provide technical and operational help at times of big influxes of illegal migrants over the external borders of any EU Member State if the European Parliament as a whole endorses a report approved by its Civil Liberties Committee on the 12 April 2007. This report, the fruit of an agreement with Council on a proposed regulation, will be put to a first reading plenary vote later in April.
