"Egypt and Tunisia have shown little or no interest in striking deals with Brussels to drive down migrant crossings from North Africa to Europe, according to leaked EU documents.

The papers revealed Brussels has made scant progress in deepening co-operation with the two countries on border control and returns.

(...)

The leaked documents, first reported by the EU Observer website and obtained by Statewatch, a pro-transparency NGO, were prepared by Hungary, which currently holds the rotating presidency of the EU."
