EC Midday press briefing of 11/05/2026

Show transcript

Hi Camille from AFP. This is Markus.

I had a question on Belgium and the small influx of migrants that are trying to cross the Channel from Belgian coast. I was wondering, are you guys?

Worried about this in any way,

what type of conversations are you having with the Belgian authorities on this and does this have any impact on the drafting of the EU channel of the.

The channel action plan that you guys are drafting and that's supposed to come in June or something. Thank you very much for the question.

We are aware of the figures, we are in touch with the authorities of all Member States concerned,

and as you rightfully mentioned,

we do work on an action plan that is due to come out before the summer.

I cannot tell you anything yet about the content of the action plan, but that's what we're working on. Other questions to Markus. No. Other topics for today.

That does not seem to be the case, then I wish you a very nice end of the morning,

the beginning of the afternoon, and see you tomorrow.
