President of the European Parliament Martin Schulz on Friday called for an immediate deal with Cairo to close down the possibility of a sudden and massive rush of refugees for Europe, the Daily Express reported.
He said Brussels should strike a similar agreement to the one it has with Turkey, where all migrants arriving in Greece are immediately sent back across the Aegean Sea.
Calling for a "comprehensive" migrant agreement with Egyptian leaders, he said: "This is the path we must take."
Schulz's comments, made in German newspaper Suddeutsche Zeitung today, come just two days after a boat crammed with hundreds of refugees sank on Wednesday
