Spain and fellow EU nations moved to bury the hatchet Tuesday after a mass influx of migrants into the North African enclave of Ceuta laid bare fault lines on migration within the 27-nation bloc.
Addressing reporters following three hours of talks with the bloc's interior ministers, EU migration chief Magnus Brunner said the crisis had "tested" Europe's border security, its "resilience to disinformation" and "solidarity" among member states.
"Europe, I think, has definitely passed this test," said the commissioner.
"It was a crisis, but now fortunately, it has been resolved."
