Working lunch during which migration and
transatlantic issues were discussed.
Measures to tackle migration in a
level-headed manner, assistance to Libya to manage refugee camps, and the need
to engage with the United States without being silent where principles are
involved were brought up by Prime Minister Joseph Muscat during a press
conference which was also addressed by the President of the European Council
Donald Tusk and the President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker.
All three referred to the Malta Declaration which was adopted during the
morning working session of the informal European Council. Mr Juncker also
praised Malta’s organisational skills in bringing together the Malta Summit.
