EU plans rapid reaction force to deal with migrants - by Nicolas Watt

A pan-European rapid reaction force of border guards could be despatched to EU countries and islands, such as Malta and the Canaries, which are struggling to cope with an influx of illegal migrants.

Under the plans announced by the European Commission yesterday, a team of up to 300 officials, including interpreters and medical teams, would be put on standby to travel to hotspots at 10 days' notice.
