EU leaders met in Malta to discuss the "Rome Declaration" and strategies for managing migrant flows from Libya. A 2009 EU report is cited, which suggests that immigration is a necessary "bolstering device" to counter Europe's aging population, with a goal of 60 million migrant workers by 2050.

The tension between national sovereignty and centralized European governance is expected to create significant friction in future legislative sessions.
