　　Immigration is one of the most hotly debated issues among EU member states, but the Granada Declaration issued after the meeting that day did not mention immigration-related content. Michelle, President of the European Council, made an independent statement on immigration only in her own name.

　　Michelle said in the statement that immigration is a challenge facing Europe and needs a response from Europe. The EU will establish a mutually beneficial and comprehensive partnership with the countries of origin and transit of migrants, solve the fundamental problems of migration, provide legal migration opportunities and resolutely crack down on organized crime and human trafficking.

　　At the press conference after the meeting, Michelle said that in order to protect European borders, it is necessary to strengthen cooperation with some third countries and speed up the repatriation of illegal immigrants. Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, stressed the need to establish all-round cooperative relations with partner countries such as countries of origin and transit of migrants, strengthen investment in these countries, and support countries that are trying to deal with the migration problem.

　　It is reported that Poland and Hungary expressed strong dissatisfaction with the reform of the EU immigration system at the summit that day. According to the relevant regulations of the European Union, immigrants entering the EU countries will need to be redistributed, and countries that refuse to accept them should pay the fees to the receiving countries. But Poland and Hungary believe that this is a mandatory order of the European Union.

　　It is reported that from 26th to 27th of this month, European leaders will continue to discuss the immigration issue at the EU summit in Brussels. (Participating in reporter: Hu Jiaqi)
