The series of shipwrecks in the Mediterranean has led to an urgent situation regarding the European migratory policy. According to the International Organisation for Migration (IOM), more than 1,750 migrants perished in the Mediterranean between January and April 2015 – this is 30 times more than during in the same period in 2014. Given these catastrophes an extraordinary European Council is being organised on 23rd April and ten new measures were put forward on 20th April by the European Commission – these include the strengthening of surveillance and rescue missions at sea. The Robert Schuman Foundation has put together an information file on the theme of immigration, bringing together all of its publications on this subject covering developments in Europe.
