Since the autumn of 2015, when hundreds of thousands of refugees fled to Europe, migration policy has given rise to a seemingly insoluble conflict between EU member states. Most countries, including Sweden, have wanted to reach an agreement on how migrants should be distributed and how the rest of the EU should help the countries to which most people arrive.

But countries such as Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary, among others, have gone in the opposite direction and made a cohesive policy impossible.

"Want to find a way forward"

Since Ylva Johansson was confirmed as EU Commissioner for Internal Security last year, she has worked to try to reach an agreement on migration. In Aktuellt, she talks about the successes in the negotiations that make her hope for a compromise that can be presented in September.

- These are of course difficult questions, but my picture is that all 27 member countries want to find a way forward. And then it is necessary with a mandatory solidarity mechanism, says Ylva Johansson.

The mechanism will ensure solidarity with refugees, by standing up for the right to asylum, but also between the Member States that must support each other.

"More order and order"

If compulsory solidarity requires a certain reception of asylum seekers for each Member State, she does not want to answer.

- We need more order and order and part of that also means a compelling solidarity.

She also highlights the need to combat human trafficking and create more legal routes into the EU.

- We must do more to prevent smuggling and that people risk their lives to come here. That is completely unreasonable.
