European Union home affairs ministers will hold emergency talks on September 14 in Brussels on the continent’s escalating migration crisis, the Luxembourg government said on Sunday.

“The situation of migration phenomena outside and inside the European Union has recently taken unprecedented proportions,” said the statement from Luxembourg, which holds the EU’s six-month rotating presidency.
The call for a meeting of the EU’s 28 member states follows a joint call for the talks by Germany, France and Britain earlier in the day. Germany’s Thomas de Maiziere, Britain's Theresa May and France’s Bernard Cazeneuve held talks on Saturday on the issue, on the sidelines of a meeting in Paris on transport security.
