Activist protest during Malta Ministerial Meeting on Migration at Fort St. Angelo

Activists set banners ‘EU Get your Ships Together!’ during a Ministerial Meeting on Migration at Fort St. Angelo in Vittoriosa, Malta, 23 September 2019.

Interior ministers of Germany, France, Finland, Italy and Malta are to discuss a joint model on location of migrants and refugees rescued at sea.

They hope to end the long, drawn-out negotiations that have seen vulnerable asylum seekers including babies stranded at sea, sometimes for weeks. They take place ahead of a European summit in October in Luxembourg.
