EN For EU ministers, this means whittling down the 390,000 asylum applications made last year and halting the unregistered human cargo --if only, as they claim, to protect immigrants' well-being.
GL Para os ministros da Unión Europea, isto tradúcese en reducir gradualmente a aprobación das 390.000 solicitudes de asilo presentadas no ano pasado e atalla-lo transporte ilegal de seres humanos, aínda que non sexa máis que para protexe-lo benestar dos inmigrantes, como afirman.
