Prime Minister Joseph Muscat entered the European Council for the second day of the Summit, and in a very brief comment reiterated the importance of yesterday's agreement.

"Yesterday's agreement was an achievement. One that sets a precedent, where relocation will become a principle. Obviously there would need to be agreement regarding the exact numbers," Dr Muscat said in a doorstep comment.

"As for relocation we are now saying that there is agreement between everyone, except for those with exceptions".

The agreement, however, does not mention mandatory burden sharing, and from the looks of things, things were conducted on a voluntary basis. This indicates that no agreement on mandatory quotas was found between the States. The agreement, will see 40,000 persons relocated from Greece and Italy, and 20,000 migrants being resettled from outside the EU. It is set to be formally adopted later today.

EU leaders were discussing migration deep into the night, following a lack of agreement on Greece.

In statement's to the Press, European Council President Donald Tusk stressed the need for solidarity with frontline countries." Interior ministers will finalise the scheme (regarding the 40,000 migrants) by the end of July. 

"I am also convinced that there will  be no solidarity on relocation so long as migrants are not properly registered. The EU can help with logistical and financial support. Respect for our rules is a must. If the rules are not respected by everyone, Schengen will be at risk".

"The current crisis concerns not only Italy and Greece. Since the beginning of the year, a third of asylum seekers have been registered in Hungary - that is more than in Italy. Our approach needs to be geographically comprehensive," he added.
