EU countries do not have the right to refuse entry to irregular migrants even if they have border controls in place, the European Court of Justice has ruled.

Germany's foreign minister has called for the EU's reform of migration policy, which was finalized in the summer, to be implemented quickly.

But she said she is unhappy that the EU Commission now wants to add a so-called crisis regulation to the pact.
