Naval and Air Vigilance for Canary Islands Coasts
Over the next few weeks the European Commission will mobilize, via its European Border Agency, Frontex, planes and patrol launches from eight member states to help watch the Canarian coasts to control the current situation in respect to the constant arrival of immigrants from Africa.
The Commission is also sending a mission to the Canary Islands to obtain detailed information on the situation in the archipelago.
