(ANSAmed) – BRUSSELS, JULY 08 – Two weeks after the massacre of migrants in the Spanish enclave of Melilla, the EU and Morocco have agreed to renew the partnership on immigration aimed at combating human trafficking networks, ” in particular following the emergence of new, extremely violent methods adopted by these criminal networks “. This is what the EU Commission announces.
The new operational anti-trafficking partnership, discussed in Rabat between the European Commissioner for Internal Affairs, Ylva Johansson, and the Spanish Interior Ministers, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, and Moroccan, Abdelouafi Laftit, provides for support for border management, strengthening of police cooperation, raising awareness of the dangers of illegal migration and enhanced cooperation with relevant EU agencies. Morocco is a strategic partner for the Union, underlines the European executive, recalling how in the first part of this year it blocked more than 26 thousand irregular departures and dismantled a hundred trafficking networks.
Partnerships with countries of origin, transit and destination have been established in connection with the new pact on migration and asylum to combat human trafficking networks and address the root causes of migratory flows. (ANSAmed).
