## EU leaders rehash migration strategies
EU leaders meeting next week in Brussels for the usual post-summer European Council are rehashing conclusions on migration, echoing almost word-for-word statements since at least 2015.
## 2015 migration strategy
They announced in december 2015 that the european council developed a strategy to stem unprecedented migratory flows and regain control over external borders.
## Schengen zone concerns
They voiced fear over low deportation numbers and insisted on concrete measures to ensure the return and readmission of unauthorized migrants.
## 12 years later
Twelve years later, the 15 october summit in brussels next week is asking almost the same migration questions as in 2015.
## 50 summits since 2015
Over 50 eu summits since 2015 have produced more than half of the 52 published conclusions dealing with migration in some shape or form.
## Key takeaway

EU leaders reiterate migration strategies from 2015 despite 12 years of implementation gaps.
