French interior minister, Gerald Darmanin, has called for a migration treaty between the European Union and Britain following the tragic deaths of 12 migrants attempting to cross the Channel in what has been the deadliest incident of its kind this year.
Darmanin emphasized the need for the European Union to establish a “traditional migration relationship” with the UK in order to address the ongoing challenges of migration across the Channel. This comes as a response to the recent tragedy which has once again brought attention to the dangers faced by migrants attempting to reach the UK via small boats.
The proposal for a migration treaty between the EU and UK aims to address the root causes of such tragic incidents and to ensure the safety of migrants seeking to cross the Channel. This call for cooperation and collaboration underscores the need for a coordinated approach to migration management between the two entities.
As discussions continue on how to best address the issue of migration across the Channel, it is clear that a comprehensive and sustainable solution is needed to prevent further loss of life and ensure the safety and well-being of migrants attempting dangerous journeys.
