Migrant arrivals in the EU
continued to fall in February compared to a year ago, with
10,900 total arrivals, less than a 10th of those in February
2016, Frontex said Wednesday. But the overall number of arrivals
was 46% up on January because of an increase in arrivals across
the central Mediterranean route to Italy, with almost 9,000
arrivals, more than double the previous month. Arrivals in Italy
totalled 13,440 in January and February, Frontex said.
