UK-France joint declaration on immigration

Made during the UK-France summit on 2 November 2010, this declaration sets out how the UK and France will continue the fight against illegal migration and against the traffickers who exploit migrants and organise the trade in human beings. It covers:

• the implementation of commitments agreed at the Evian summit;
• new initiatives to reinforce the security of the UK-France border, with a particular view to making it impervious to illegal immigration and trafficking networks;
• a preventative approach to illegal immigration in the principal countries of origin and transit; and
• joint work to mobilise parters at an international and European level within a framework of concrete and operational cooperation.
