The European Union called for an "urgent" solution to the migratory crisis in Ceuta, considering the events of late July a "severe" and "unprecedented" test for relations between the EU and Morocco.
Brussels reiterated that migrants who arrived in Ceuta must "return quickly to Morocco," underscoring the need for a coordinated response between member states and the Moroccan kingdom.
The European Commission expressed concern about the humanitarian situation and urged Moroccan authorities to control migratory flows at the border with the Spanish enclave.
This appeal comes in a context of tension between the EU and Morocco, following the massive influx of people who attempted to cross the land border between Morocco and Ceuta in July.
