On March 10, 2023, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and French President Emmanuel Macron Friday came to an agreement on a multi-million pound package of measures to prevent migration across the Channel at the end of the 36th Franco-British Summit. According to the UK government, “The unparalleled multi-year agreement delivers on the PM’s priority to stop small boats and builds on joint measures taken with France in 2022 which increased patrols by 40%.” In the statement, Sunak underscores how the agreement seeks to intercept those making the dangerous cross across the Channel and “put an end to this disgusting trade in human life.” Macron added that “beyond the important regular French contribution, the British contribution over the next three years will amount to 141 million euros for 2023-2024, 191 million euros for 2024-2025 and 209 million euros for 2025-2026.” The package also seeks to reduce illegal migration by establishing a detention center in France and deploying more French personnel with new technology to patrol beaches.
