• Approximately 5,000 people have died on the Canary migrant route so far this year.
• This is the most crowded and dangerous route.
• Spanish reception system is overwhelmed.
• Negotiations are being held to improve the regulation of the transfer of unaccompanied minors to other communities.
• Available resources in autonomous communities for migrant care are also insufficient.
• There exists a lack of accurate and up to date case tallies.
• Criticism has been raised over the sending of supposedly adult immigrants who then declare themselves as minors at their destination.

Conclusion: Management methods of migration need to be reviewed and coordination within the EU and Spain needs improving. The current handling is neither suitable nor effective.
