The interior ministers of the 27 European Union member states held a virtual meeting on Tuesday to discuss tightening up internal borders following the scenes at the Spanish enclave of Ceuta in North Africa over the weekend.
The EU's migration chief said on Tuesday the bloc successfully met a "test" of its border security and "resilience to disinformation" in the handling of a migrant rush into Spain's North African territory of Ceuta.
"These past few days were a test of our European resilience, a test of the security of our external borders," EU Commissioner for Internal Affairs and Migration Magnus Brunner told reporters following Tuesday talks with the bloc's interior ministers.
