Key measures: EU proposals to tackle migrant crisis

The European Union has committed to 17 proposals it says will make a difference in the Mediterranean within days.

Here is a summary of what was agreed at yesterday's summit of leaders:

• Trebling annual funding for search and rescue to 120 million euros (£86 million), putting current operations in line with last year's Mare Nostrum mission
• Pledging aircraft and boats to support the mission - Britain promised the Royal Navy flagship HMS Bulwark along with three helicopters and two other ships
• A promise to tackle human trafficking in north Africa, including a pledge to "identify, capture and destroy" vessels before they can be used
• Plans for a pilot project to bring in refugees and spread them more broadly across the European Union
