德国慕尼黑——欧洲内政部长于周六举行会谈，旨在加强边境管控、缩短应急响应时间，并为部分移民建立快速遣返程序。
MUNICH, Germany — European interior ministers held talks on Saturday to strengthen border controls, improve emergency response times and establish fast-track procedures for returning some migrants.
此次17位来自欧盟和英国的部长集会，正值27国集团努力在6月实施《移民和庇护公约》后加强移民管控之际。
The gathering of 17 ministers from the European Union and Britain comes as the 27-member bloc works to strengthen migration controls following the implementation in June of a migration and asylum pact .
近几个月来，欧洲的庇护申请数量急剧下降，尝试穿越地中海的移民人数也减少，尽管他们的危险旅程比去年更加致命。
Asylum applications in Europe have fallen sharply in recent months, and fewer migrants have attempted to cross the Mediterranean, although their treacherous journeys have become more deadlier than last year.
德国内政部长亚历山大·多布林特暗示了一些“非法越境潮”的紧急情况，表示“需要建立新的欧洲移民危机机制”。他援引移民涌入与摩洛哥接壤的西班牙属地休达（Ceuta）导致欧洲内部出现分歧一事，呼吁制定新规则以识别边境紧急情况、建立应对机制以及快速处理部分遣返事宜。
“There is a need for a new European migration crisis mechanism,” said German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt, alluding to some emergency situations of “waves of illegal border crossings.” Citing an influx of migrants to the Spanish territory of Ceuta , which borders Morocco caused divisions in Europe , Dobrindt called for new rules to identify border emergencies, a mechanism to respond to them and a system for fast-tracking some returns.
他还表示，希望欧洲边境和海岸警卫队机构（即Frontex）能够参与遣返过程。
He also said he hoped the European border security and coast guard agency, known as Frontex, could be involved in the return process.
欧盟移民专员马格努斯·布伦纳表示，保护该集团边境是改革的核心部分，并且正在取得进展。
EU Migration Commissioner Magnus Brunner said protecting the bloc’s borders was a central part of the reforms and that progress was being made.
布伦纳说：“非法移民已大幅下降。在过去两年中，下降了55%，而在过去一年中，又下降了三分之一。”
“Illegal migration has dropped dramatically,” said Brunner. “In the last two years, it has gone down by 55 % and in the last year once again it dropped by one-third.
“我们欧洲人希望决定谁可以留在欧洲，而那些不能留下的人则必须离开。这就是这一切的核心所在。”
“We as Europeans want to decide who can stay in Europe and those who cannot stay then have to leave. This is what all this is about.”
