Statement by Antonio TAJANI, EP President on immigration

SOUNDBITE (English), Antonio TAJANI, EP President, Immigration is most important point for Europe, we need to achieve a solution, we need to achieve an agreement during the next European Council. The cooperation with Austria is good, we have the same position on defense of the external borders. We need to invest more in Africa, we need to achieve agreements with African countries. We need to work hard also for the reform of the Dublin Regulation, it is not easy, but I think the first point is to defend the external borders. We will work hard in this direction, because without the solution on immigration, the European Union will be in danger. For this, we need to work without delay, without delay. European Parliament is pushing a lot and for this we want to work also in the next six months with the Austrian Presidency.
