The EU-Africa summit in Valletta earlier than planned to the end – a good sign? The Endergenisse are probably the currently possible. And that means that a lot of questions related to the issue of migration from Africa, are far from being resolved.
For Chancellor Angela Merkel the migration summit marked a new phase of cooperation between the two continents. She makes it clear that the decisions here are only an important first step. “It was here, the starting point of a longer process,” said the prime minister. It lies more work to the States.

The beginning of a long process
This is just the beginning, so the official version of many summit participants. But that representatives of Europe from 35 African countries have been talking at a table on the theme of migration, is sold here in Valletta been a success. The so-called “Action Plan”, the summit decided unanimously can at least guess a lot of good will and some real progress.
Donald Tusk, the rotating EU presidency, lists: “The reasons for migration are tackled, cooperation in legal migration is enhanced, improving the safeguards to protect vulnerable and expanded the fight against human smugglers and traffickers.” And you’ll be ahead when it comes to the returnees who do not have the right to stay in Europe.
More money for more cooperation
Especially with the return of migrants who are rejected in Europe, many African countries are holding back until now. In the home is the money to send the illegal migrants from Europe, well used. But now there is to be real incentives – according to the motto “more for more”: more funding and in return more cooperation. In pot of the Trust Fund, which was sealed today morning, almost two billion euros are. Thus, the living conditions in the countries of origin of many immigrants should be improved. Money in addition to the 20 billion euros that Europe will transfer to development aid to Africa in the year. Thus jobs are to be created, and especially young people are moving to stay.
But from the Trust Fund also improved border management is paid. The African representatives, it was particularly important to create legal ways to Europe. Macky Sall, President of Senegal and Chairman of the East African Economic Union ECOWAS, sees significant progress: “I think that the compromise that improves the situation he will allow both Europeans and Africans, to discuss the issue at par on..” In addition, the result would also help to de-dramatize the situation, and to organize the issue of mobility. Together tractor and irregular migration could be combated.
The large number of participating countries at the EU-Africa special summit on refugees applies in itself a success.
Hardly aid for current situation in Europe
The EU’s leaders know, of course, that the changes only slightly at the current situation in Europe. After the summit with the African States they had arranged to meet for detention. Topic: the refugee crisis in Europe. And it change the thick boards that you now want to drill together with Africa, once quite little.
