Immigration, it is emphasized, is a European challenge that requires a European response.

The existing action plans for the Western Balkans and the Central Mediterranean should be implemented, the actions for the Atlantic and for the Western and Eastern Mediterranean should be strengthened and further action plans should be presented by the Commission as soon as possible, with a view to rapidly easing the pressure on the most affected member states, the leaders of the 27 EU member states are also expected to underline.

Finally, the European Council is expected to call on the co-legislators to complete work on the Pact on Migration and Asylum.
