Migration concerns take centre stage at European Council summit

Today in the EU

EU migration policy will be at the forefront of the European Council summit today (17 October) as tougher measures against irregular immigration have gained momentum. But common goals do not equal common means – member states across the Union are clashing over what direction EU migration policy should take.

From 'return hubs' to asylum seekers' rights and third-country bilateral agreements, member states' divergent proposals are likely to complicate efforts in achieving the unanimous consensus necessary to pass any procedure at EUCO.

Join host Giada Santana and senior editor Sarantis Michalopoulos as they dive into the policies that could redefine the future of EU migration.
