  • The Malta Declaration is a declaration made on 3 February 2017 during the European migrant crisis by leaders of the European Union in Malta, which at the time held the six-month rotating presidency of the European Union, that focuses on measures to stem the flow of immigration from Libya to Italy and the EU. In 2016 over 4,500 people died on the Central Mediterranean route and over 181,000 irregular migrants arrived this way. A senior EU diplomat noted this to be a long-term strategy. The declaration states that "efforts to stabilize Libya are now more important than ever, and the EU will do its utmost to contribute to that objective" and that "with hundreds having already lost their lives in 2017 and spring approaching, [the EU is] determined to take additional action to significantly reduce migratory flows along the Central Mediterranean route and break the business model of smugglers".
