On 6 June 2023, Ylva Johansson, European Commissioner for Home Affairs, gave a press point on the EU Action Plan for the Western Mediterranean and Atlantic routes. This Action Plan presents 18 targeted operational measures structured along two pillars: strengthening engagement with partner countries, and strengthening operational measures on search and rescue, return procedures, as well as smoother and faster voluntary solidarity. The goal is to support Member States to strengthen migration management along this route, preventing irregular departures and saving lives, while working closely with key partner countries.This video shows the press point by Ylva Johansson.
