Malta to no longer host Frontex missions (Malta Independent Online, link): "The government's strategy to prevent violent extremism has stigmatised and alienated Muslims it wants to work with, a committee of MPs has warned," and:

"Malta will no longer host Frontex missions as it has been doing over recent years after the European Parliament yesterday approved a controversial set of new guidelines for search and rescue operations, a government spokesperson has confirmed. The new set of Frontex rules for disembarking migrants rescued from the high seas stipulate that such migrants should be taken to and disembarked in the mission’s host country instead of the closest port of call."
