The statement of the European People’s Party, obtained through the portal euractiv.pl, shows that the Polish government’s opposition to the implementation of the European Migration Pact is weakening. Poland, as Prime Minister Donald Tusk stated, did not agree to include references to the implementation of the pact in the summit conclusions. The statement will eventually include a reference to the need to implement the Migration Pact
After the end of the European Union summit in Brussels, Donald Tusk said the “status quo” on the migration package would be maintained.
It was known that it was not the European Council that could change the provisions of the Migration Pact; the status quo and understanding for Poland were maintained
– he said.

Poland’s resistance to the implementation of the EU migration pact is weakening
– we read on the website euractiv.pl
The statement included a reference to the need to implement the migration pact. In it, the EU called for solutions to the problem of illegal migration, “one of the most important challenges facing Europe today”.
Albanian-Italian example
An example of a well-functioning migration pact was the cooperation between Italy and Albania, which welcomes immigrants who arrive in Italy while their asylum applications are being processed.
The EPP’s draft statement emphasizes the urgent need to introduce new regulations on return policies and calls for an amendment to the 2008 Return Directive.
