EU calls for protection of vulnerable migrants

16/11/2016 (Agence Europe)On Tuesday 15 November, High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy underlined "the need for all actors, including the Libyan authorities and United Nations bodies, to do more to ensure the protection and assistance of vulnerable migrants inside Libya".  This must come about by improving the living conditions in reception centres, she said in a telephone conversation with UN Special Representative for Libya Martin Kobler, according to a press release from the European External Action Service.  Mogherini pledged continued European Union support. The EU finances programmes in the amount of over €20 million, which facilitate the voluntary return of stranded migrants, support the host communities, provide assistance to vulnerable migrants and aim to improve their living conditions in the detention centres.  (CG)
