«The full and speedy implementation of the EU-Turkey Action Plan remains a priority, in order to stem migration flows and to tackle traffickers and smugglers networks,» the leaders concluded during a two-day summit.
The action plan is a document signed in Nov. 2014 between Turkey and the EU, in which Turkey agrees to protect EU borders from the flood of refugees in exchange for three billion U.S. dollars.
European Council President Donald Tusk said in a joint press conference with European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker that the EU was to organize a special meeting with Turkey at the beginning of March.
The meeting also called for unity of all EU institutions and member states.
«We must look for a synthesis of different approaches. There is no good alternative to a comprehensive European plan,» Tusk said.
A joint effort is needed to solve the migration crisis, Juncker said,»solo, national approach is not recommendable.»
