- Summary
- Combating illegal migration is to be a key priority for the EU in the coming years as the migration pressure on the EU and especially its southern member States is high and increasing. Illegal migration from sub-Saharan Africa is on the rise seriously and is expected to increase even further in the coming years: sharp rise in African population, continued poverty, environmental degradation, increasing numbers of gangs that organize the trafficking and smuggling of human beings and continued conflicts are backing that assessment.
