European Council conclusions, 15 October 2015

President Tusk warned that the future of Schengen is at stake. He repeated the need for the EU to regain the control of its external borders and to effectively proceed to the registration of migrants: "It must be clear that without registration there will be no rights", said President Tusk.

EU leaders particularly focused their discussions on cooperation with Turkey. President Tusk announced a possible EU-Turkey summit to be organised as soon as possible.
