The European Council reconfirms that a precondition for a functioning EU policy relies on a comprehensive approach to migration which combines more effective control of the EU´s external borders, increased external action and the internal aspects, in line with our principles and values. The European Council conclusions, 28 June 2018 were issued, since 2015 a number of measures have been put in place to achieve the effective control of the EU's external borders. As a result, the number of detected illegal border crossings into the EU is down 96% from its peak in October 2015.
