Migration plan exposes EU rifts, tough bargaining ahead
For Rem Korteweg of the CER, the summit was a setback for Europe. He cited migration, along with the Greek debt crisis, confrontation with Russia and British threats to leave as the "Four Horsemen" circling the summit. Forecasting "very heated" talks this summer as Italy urges its neighbours to meet the target, Korteweg said: "This damages the EU as a whole because it shows that solidarity is lacking and most member states don't want to share Italy's burden."
