EU-Commissioner for Internal Affairs and Migration
Today, we welcomed 80+ delegations to Brussels and launched the Global Alliance Joint Declaration.

Partners from five continents are uniting to strengthen prevention and responses to migrant smuggling - and to expand safe, legal alternatives to irregular migration.

Tomorrow we are hosting the second Global Alliance to Counter Migrant Smuggling in Brussels. We aim to protect people from falling into smugglers’ hands, break the business model of their criminal operations, and work on alternatives to illegal migration with over 80 delegations.

I highly value the Coalition bringing together Member States on this important topic. Today, we focused on drugs, as the Commission recently adopted the EU Drugs Strategy and Action Plan, and on the need for international cooperation and strong engagement of our agencies like Europol and the EUDA.

The European Union has always been a project of peace, freedom and prosperity. It is our obligation and mission to protect these values, in the interest of our democracy.

I also visited the European Union Agency for Asylum (EUAA) and met with Executive Director Nina Gregori. We discussed the agency’s crucial work in supporting EU Member States, making asylum procedures more efficient, and sharing best practices across the EU.

Security challenges are evolving fast - no country can face them alone. The EU stands ready to deepen cooperation with our G7 partners.

We are determined to fight the smuggling of migrants by organised criminal groups and the instrumentalisation of migration, while working together to expand the opportunities for talent mobility and fruitful people-to-people contacts.

Cyprus has our full support in its efforts to swiftly complete technical preparedness across all areas, ensuring a high level of compliance with smart border-control systems, while promoting best practices - particularly in the area of returns.

Es ist mir eine große Freude, die EU-Gemeinderätinnen und -Gemeinderäte aus ganz Österreich in Brüssel willkommen zu heißen.

Als wichtige Brückenbauer zwischen Brüssel und den Gemeinden sind die EU-Gemeinderäte ein Vorzeigeprojekt innerhalb der Europäischen Union.

Politics must always reflect the interests of all, and the EU was built on values that derive from faith - human dignity, peace and freedom. At a time when hate and conflict seek to divide us, our dialogue with religious leaders is more than a symbol - it is a forum for solidarity and unity.

Today, we remember all who have suffered from the senseless violence of terrorism.

We stand in solidarity with the victims and survivors, honouring their strength and resilience.

All of Europe stands with you — today and always.

Danke, lieber Joachim Herrmann, für den guten Austausch heute und vielen Dank den bayerischen Polizeipräsidenten für euren Besuch! Wir sind uns einig, dass wir unsere innere Sicherheit mit modernen Mitteln und in enger europäischer und internationaler Zusammenarbeit weiter schützen müssen.

Together, we are addressing drug trafficking through operational cooperation, data sharing, and prevention measures. We must continue working together, to stop the flow of drugs. It is in our shared security interest.
November 10, 2025 at 7:47 PM
Due to its strategic location and high container traffic, it is a critical point for smuggling operations. Together with @europol.europa.eu‘s Deputy Executive Director and the Executive Director of MAOC-N, we discussed ongoing operations.

To get drugs off European streets, we’re strengthening cooperation with Latin America and tackling the criminal networks behind trafficking.

Sehr guter Austausch heute mit Ministerpräsidenten und politischen Vertretern aus den ostdeutschen Bundesländern.

Sicherheit und Migration standen ganz oben auf der Agenda. Wir arbeiten gemeinsam an Lösungen – regional, national und europäisch.

I want to thank the Border Police of Bosnia and Herzegovina and @frontex.bsky.social colleagues for their work in making the Status Agreement we signed last June a reality today. Shoulder to shoulder, the border guards are safeguarding our common European borders.

Thank you, Chairwoman, for the excellent cooperation and commitment to our shared security.
 
The last time we met, we signed the Frontex agreement. Today, we discussed the progress that has already happened and the launch of Joint Operation Bosnia and Herzegovina.
