On migration, the lesson is clear: we need to act together.

We agreed on concrete and operational steps forward along two tracks:

First, keeping the pace on the Pact on Migration and Asylum. I count on the 🇸🇪🇪🇸 presidencies.

And 4 types of priority measures we can take now ↓

Maintaining our industrial competitiveness globally.

Managing migration as a Union.

Glad we could agree on concrete steps forward tonight at EUCO ↓
