Commissioner Avramopolous reiterated in Strasbourg on 12 April that the EU's ability to maintain an area free of internal border controls depends on our ability to effectively manage our external borders.
He also underlined that all of the Council and Commission recommendations needed to be met to face the unprecedented pressure at Europe's external borders.
With this in mind, Petr Ježek asked the European Commission to respond to his questions concnering how many people, and of which nationalities, have illegally entered the Union through Italy since the beginning of 2016, how many of those who arrived illegally in Italy applied for international protection, and how many of those who applied were granted international protection, how many were returned to their country of departure, and what has happened to those who did not apply for international protection.
