EU foreign policy central

(ANSA) - Brussels, April 15 - Eu foreign policy is "central" to keeping up the Schengen Area and the EU must move from an "emergency" management of the migrant crisis to a "strategic" one, Premier Matteo Renzi said in a letter accompanying a 'migration compact' proposals sent to European Commission and European Council chiefs Friday. "The external dimension of migratory policy (takes on) a fundamental role in the preservation of Schengen," he said, stressing that new borders guards and the reform of the Dublin II regulation "can only give concrete results if, in parallel, the management of migratory flows moves from the emergency phase to that of a more ordered and strategic management".
