EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT PLENARY / Eu2017ee

Solidarity must be pillar of EU migration policy, says Ratas

Estonian Prime Minister Jüri Ratas said on Wednesday 5 July that solidarity among member states would be required in managing the migration crisis facing the European Union.

“No member state can deal with the refugee crisis on its own”, Ratas argued in the debate in the European Parliament on the priorities of the Estonian Presidency of the Council of the EU. The 28 member states must act in a spirit of solidarity, he added, with solidarity the cornerstone of every policy in this area.
