Remarks by President Donald Tusk after the meeting of the EU heads of state or government with Turkey
Today, we have finally reached an agreement between the EU and Turkey. An agreement aimed at stopping the flow of irregular migration via Turkey to Europe.
Let me mention key elements that allowed us to reach this agreement in the last days and hours:
First, we needed to ensure that each and every migrant arriving in Europe will be treated individually. In other words that our agreement complies with all EU and international laws.
