Paragraph 7 a (new)
| Motion for a resolution | Amendment |
| 7a. Expresses its utmost concern at the findings of a report by the Policía Nacional, which indicate that the mass breach of Spain’s border – and that of the EU – was not a spontaneous migratory event, but a planned operation carried out under the guise of a migration crisis, and which provide evidence of the presence of uniformed and non-uniformed individuals linked to the Moroccan security forces; calls on the Commission, the Council and the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy to assess, without delay, the findings of the Spanish authorities and, should they be confirmed, to adopt appropriate diplomatic, financial and restrictive measures against those responsible; |
