Att dela på bördorna under det svenska ordförandeskapet

TimesofMalta.com skriver att det svenska ordförandeskapet kan innebära problem för Malta som vill att resten av unionen ska hjälpa dem med att ta emot invandrare.

Malta is likely to face an uphill struggle on illegal immigration in the next six months under the incoming Swedish Presidency of the EU.

Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt yesterday sounded cool on the prospect of deepening talks on the concept of burden sharing, a topic being promoted by both Malta and Italy.

"I know that Malta is pushing for more burden sharing to solve its immigration problems and that the Commission is also pressing on this point but, as you know, there are different views among member states on this," he said.
