Prime Minister Robert Abela has called for a stronger fight against human traffickers after attending an EU Council Summit dominated by migration. In a ministerial statement delivered in Parliament, the Prime Minister gave an overview of what was discussed during a recent EU Council summit. Abela said that efforts should be diverted towards fending off human traffickers and organised crime groups who exploit migrants looking to go to Europe. “We believe that the way to tackle this challenge effectively is by strengthening the fight against human traffickers,” he said. Abela also announced that he will visit Tunisia next week , noting that a memorandum of understanding was signed recently between the EU and Tunisia.
