MoU between Cyprus and EU to strengthen cooperation in migration, says Schinas

The memorandum of understanding between the Republic of Cyprus, the European Commission and all relevant EU agencies and organisations will strengthen cooperation in the field of migration, on the basis of a detailed common plan, said on Saturday European Commission Vice President Margaritis Schinas.

Addressing an event of the Glafcos Clerides Institute on the Future of Europe, he said that with the support of the current French Presidency, “we are proceeding with a whole range of actions”, because as long as no agreement on asylum emerges, “we will be like firefighters running from one crisis to another when we need to be architects of a new unwavering regulatory framework”.

The memorandum will be signed during his visit to Cyprus which started on Saturday.
