00:01Europe's resilience was challenged during the recent crisis in the Spanish enclave
00:07from Ceuta, but passed the test. That's what the European commissioner in charge confirmed on Tuesday.
00:13on migration issues, Magnus Brunner, after a meeting between the ministers of
00:18within the European Union, which sought to draw lessons after the migration wave
00:23in that territory and the strong diplomatic tensions that the crisis aroused.
00:33For the moment, I think Europe has clearly passed this test. People didn't manage
00:37entering the Schengen area and border security was quickly restored.
00:42Now the key is for the European Union to act, I would say, in a united manner and also to take action.
00:47the correct conclusions from these events.
00:59Last week, amid the crisis generated by thousands of migrants crossing the border
01:04Whether on foot or swimming, some European Union states considered that to represent a
01:10a threat to the bloc and even demanded Spain's exclusion from the Schengen area,
01:16the free movement zone in Europe, which angered Madrid.
01:23It has become clear that the Schengen area has in no way been compromised in
01:29This crisis of July 30th. There has been no possibility of any
01:36Secondary movement. It has become clear that Ceuta has a special regime within Schengen.
01:43since 1991, in the sense that no person can leave Ceuta without effective control
01:52documentary. Even the citizens of the European Union themselves.
01:57In other words, none...
01:58The minister revised upwards the tally of mass admissions from last week and estimated
02:05that 72,000 people entered the country irregularly, of whom
02:1070,000 have already returned. In addition, 75 died trying to reach Ceuta. On Tuesday,
02:19During the virtual meeting that lasted more than three hours, the European states finally
02:24They unanimously expressed their deep solidarity with Spain.
