Labour MEP seeks answers on migration talks with Libya

Labour MEP Claudette Abela Baldacchino has asked the European Commission to give details of talks with Libya pertaining to the "immigration crisis", the MEP said in a statement.

Abela Baldacchino asked in particular about the progress on discussions with Libya, and what measures will be taken based on the conclusions of these talks.

"Many migrants die in their attempt to cross the Mediterranean Sea. This is reason enough to make sure that this is tackled in a comprehensive way, and put an end to this phenomenon."
