CALAIS, Nov 28 — France hosts a meeting of European ministers on today to discuss ways to stop migrants crossing the Channel in dinghies, but without Britain, which has been excluded following a row last week.
The main focus had been set to be talks between Darmanin and his British counterpart Priti Patel after both countries vowed in the immediate aftermath of the mass drownings to cooperate more together. Patel’s invitation to Sunday’s talks was promptly withdrawn, with an aide to Darmanin calling Johnson’s public letter “unacceptable”.Without the participation of Britain — the destination country for the thousands of migrants massed in northern France — there are limits to what can be achieved.
“Let’s not forget that the real problem on illegal migration flows is the EU has no border protections whatsoever,” Patel said in the middle of November, referring to the EU’s border-free Schengen zone.
