布鲁塞尔，9月29日——欧盟移民事务专员马格努斯·布鲁纳表示，7月下旬大量移民涌入西班牙飞地休达的画面，掩盖了欧盟在移民问题上本应表现良好的统计数据。
BRUSSELS, Sept 29 - Magnus Brunner, the European Union's Commissioner for Migration, said the images of the massive surge of migrants into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta in late July overshadowed what were otherwise good statistics from the EU on migration.
在布鲁塞尔介绍一项加强欧盟外部边界安全的新计划时，他告诉记者：“我想说，画面有时会掩盖最好的统计数据。”
"I would say images sometimes overshadowed the best statistics," he told reporters in Brussels during a presentation of a new plan to strengthen security at the EU external borders.
7月底，有超过7.2万人从摩洛哥涌入该飞地，尽管大多数人后来离开了。西班牙估计仍有1.2万名移民留在该小片领土上，其中包括未成年人。
More than 72,000 people surged into the enclave from Morocco at the end of July, although most later left. Spain estimates 12,000 migrants remain in the tiny territory, including minors.
布鲁纳本月早些时候还告诉路透社电视，尽管非法进入欧洲的移民人数急剧下降，但休达的画面仍然助长了对极右翼政党的支持。
Brunner had also told Reuters TV earlier this month that while there had been a sharp decline in the irregular arrivals into Europe of migrants, the images from Ceuta had nonetheless fuelled support for far-right parties.
