The European Union tries to calm tensions on migration

The European Commissioner for Migration Dimitris Avramopoulos is attempting to bridge tensions between EU member states before a series of summits on migration.

Mr. Avramopoulos is on damage control after Italy threatened to boycott German Chancellor Angela Merkel's informal summit set for this weekend.

The commission published a draft plan, which ignores Italy's complaint some EU countries have done enough to share the burden of the migration crisis.

Avampolous says Italy isn't wrong and offered up possible reforms including calls for new legislation to create an EU Border Police.
