Viel Geschrei und Wenig Wolle

by the editor

This German proverb probably best describes this editor's expectations to the final aggreement on a common EU migration policy.

With the heart of the initial proposal, the "resettlement/burden-sharing/solidarity" pillar, in tatters, only tightened border controls and "Safe Ports" is the only substantial outcome expected. The Dublin II Agreement will stand, much to the chagrin of Italy and Greece, and this basic faillure will probably be papered over by nice phrases about "common efforts", "brotherhood", and "united efforts".

But I may yet be surprised.
