The European Commission has proposed a 5-point plan to prevent, anticipate and respond to sudden, mass illegal arrivals, strengthening the resilience and security of EU external borders. The Commission says the EU's existing migration framework has delivered results, with illegal border crossings at their lowest level since 2021, but recent events—including this summer's Ceuta crisis—have tested the borders and shown that tools must evolve for emergency situations. The plan builds on the January 2026 European Strategy on Asylum and Migration and is guided by five key areas set out by President von der Leyen, stressing that external border protection is a shared European responsibility.

EU Energy Commissioner Jørgensen said at the Informal Energy Council press conference in Dublin that months after the Iran conflict began, Europe still faces an energy price crisis, with little progress around the Strait of Hormuz and highly volatile prices. Since the war started, the EU has paid over EUR 100 billion extra for fossil fuel imports without receiving a single extra molecule of energy. No immediate winter supply risks are seen, but citizen bills and fuel prices remain a strain. He outlined a two-fold strategy: doubling down on the clean transition and structural reform while flexibly helping member states, companies and citizens, including considering lowering the gas storage f…
