THE European Union has lost control of its borders and risks total collapse if they are not sealed, a senior Brussels diplomat has warned. Donald Tusk, president of the European Council, warned the EU was now facing a "critical point" and that the migrant crisis hadn't even reached its peak. As he chaired an emergency meeting of EU leaders in Brussels last night Mr Tusk painted a bleak picture of the EU's future, saying the 28-member bloc was on the verge of breakdown with "recriminations and misunderstanding" pitting nations against one another.
The future of free movement was at stake, he said, as the continent had lost control of its borders as well as a "sense of order". He added: "The most urgent question we should ask ourselves...is how to regain control of our external borders. "Otherwise, it doesn't make sense to even speak about common migration policy."
