The Ministers of France, Germany, Italy, Finland and Malta, together with the EU Commissioner for Migration and Home Affairs Dimitris Avramopoulos, gathered in Malta to seal a deal on the automatic redistribution of migrants rescued in the Mediterranean. Berlin and Paris are already available to welcome a quarter of the people rescued at sea and hope that other EU Member States will join in. The proposal, which focuses only on emergency cases, will be presented to other member states at the Justice and Home Affairs Council on 7 October.
