The UK and France have urged other EU nations to help address the root causes of the Calais migrants crisis.
In the Sunday Telegraph, Home Secretary Theresa May and her French counterpart Bernard Cazeneuve said the situation was a "global migration crisis".
Migrants in Calais are making nightly bids to cross the Channel.
The
appeal comes as more details emerge of bolstered security measures
agreed between the UK and France, including extra private security
guards.
The measures planned for around the French end of the
Channel Tunnel, which also include more CCTV surveillance, French police
reinforcements and extra fencing, were agreed in a phone call between
Prime Minister David Cameron and President Francois Hollande on Friday.
'Tougher action'
Mrs May and Mr Cazeneuve wrote: "This situation cannot be seen as an issue just for our two countries.
"It is a priority at both a European and international level.
"Many of those in Calais and attempting to cross the Channel have made their way there through Italy, Greece or other countries.
"That is why we are pushing other member states, and the whole of the EU, to address this problem at root."
They
suggested that the long-term solution to the problem would be to
persuade would-be migrants hoping for a better life in Europe that "our
streets are not paved with gold".
A Downing Street spokesman said the prime minister wanted to see "more security and tougher action at the border".
Details of the security measures agreed between the two countries include:
Extra private security guards, funded by the UK, to boost an existing 200-strong team
An increased presence of French police on the borders throughout the summer
Additional fencing, funded by the UK,
to be installed around the Eurotunnel perimeter as required, with higher
boundaries and extra layers where necessary and a large metal barrier
to protect Eurotunnel platforms
Extra CCTV, infra-red detectors and floodlighting to secure key segments of the perimeter fence
The No 10 spokesman added: "On top of that, we want to help
those being affected by the disruption, including securing additional
parking zones in Kent to reduce the impact on local residents and
businesses."
Thousands of lorries have been getting parked on the
M20 in Kent as part of Operation Stack - implemented whenever there is
disruption to Channel crossings - with residents and businesses
complaining of knock-on effects including congestion. Kent Police said Operation Stack had been stood down on Saturday evening and the motorway was now open in both directions.

Meanwhile, Labour's acting leader has written to Mr Cameron calling
for compensation from the French government for UK people affected by
the Calais crisis.
Harriet Harman said people and businesses should not bear the cost for "border security failures".
She
called on Mr Cameron to request compensation from the French government
"backed up by any diplomatic pressure that may become necessary",
saying it should cover all losses.
But Downing Street said pointing the finger of blame was not the right way to find a solution.
There have been thousands of attempts by migrants to access the Eurotunnel terminal in the last week.
A
man believed to be Sudanese was killed on Tuesday night while
attempting to make the journey. He is the ninth person to have been
killed trying to access the the tunnel since the start of June.
More than 600 French riot police are in Calais, working with local police.

Civil rights campaigners in the US
have begun a 40-day march to highlight what they say is a fresh attack
on equal rights for African Americans.
They set out from Selma,
Alabama - the starting point 50 years ago for a march in support of
watershed legislation enabling black people to vote.
Activists say a 2013 Supreme Court decision has allowed some states to reverse some of that progress.
They hope thousands will join a final rally in Washington DC in September.
America's
Journey for Justice will take an 860-mile (1,385 km) route passing
through Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia.
Organisers
say the outcry triggered by the recent police killings, including the
shooting of a black teenager in Ferguson, Missouri, needs to be
channelled into a long-term commitment to bring about change, Reuters
reports.
"We can continue to be serially outraged, or we can
engage in an outrageously patriotic demonstration with a commitment to
bringing about reform in this country," said Cornell William Brooks,
leader of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
Marchers
sang as they crossed the Edmund Pettus bridge, where state troopers
beat activists protesting about the death of a black man at the hands of
a white police officer in March 1965.
That
event, and a follow-up march from Selma to Montgomery led by Martin
Luther King helped build momentum for Congress' approval of the Voting
Rights Act that removed all barriers preventing African-Americans from
registering as voters.
Events in Selma were significant for the civil rights movement in the 1960s
In March, President Barack Obama visited Selma to pay tribute to the original marchers.
He called them "heroes" and said that they had "given courage to millions".
Despite progress, he said, the fight against racism was not over.
"This
nation's long racial history still casts its long shadow upon us. We
know the march is not yet over, the race is not yet won," the president
said.
He also condemned new attempts by state governments to restrict voting rights.
Iraq's Kurdistan region has urged
Turkish Kurd separatist forces of the PKK to leave civilian areas amid
continuing Turkish air strikes.
The call follows reports that civilians have been killed in Turkish raids on PKK targets which resumed a week ago.
Turkey's
official news agency says about 260 Kurdish fighters have been killed
in strikes in northern Iraq and Turkey itself since then.
The PKK has not released any casualty figures.
Turkey has carried out hundreds of raids on the rebel group's bases on both sides of the Iraq-Turkey border. Explainer: Turkey v Islamic State v the Kurds
At
the same time, it is bombing Islamic State militants in Syria in an
effort to push them back from Turkey's borders. Turkey had not
previously been involved in fighting in Syria's conflict.
'Keep battlefield away'
Further
Turkish air raids were reported overnight, this time in the Rawanduz
area east of Erbil, capital of Iraq's Kurdish region.
At
least six people were killed and several more wounded in the town of
Zarkel, local officials said. They reportedly included at least two
women.
An Iraq-based PKK activist told Associated Press that at least six homes were destroyed and eight civilians were killed.
"We condemn this bombardment that led to the martyrdom of people from
the Kurdistan region and call on Turkey not to bombard civilians again,"
Iraqi Kurdish President Massoud Barzani said in a statement.
The past week has seen a series of deadly attacks inside Turkey blamed on the PKK
Urging the PKK to withdraw its
fighters from civilian areas in the region, he said the separatists
"must keep the battlefield away from the Kurdistan region in order for
civilians not to become victims of this war".
The statement also called on the Turkish government and the PKK to resume peace talks.
The
strikes against PKK camps in northern Iraq, which began last week, were
the first since March 2013, when a ceasefire was called.
Turkish
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said last week that it was "not possible
to continue the peace process with those who threaten our national unity
and brotherhood".
Turkey and a number of Western countries regard the PKK as a terrorist organisation.
Family members of Osama Bin Laden
were on board a plane which crashed in Hampshire, the Saudi Arabian
embassy in the UK has said.
The private jet crashed near Blackbushe Airport, Yateley, on Friday killing the pilot and all three passengers.
In a statement on Twitter, the Saudi ambassador to the UK, Prince Mohammed bin Nawaf Al Saud, offered condolences to the Bin Laden family.
The embassy said it was in contact with the British crash investigators.
The
statement said: "His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Nawaf Al
Saud... has paid his condolences to the family and relatives of Mohammed
bin Laden at Blackbushe airport in Britain for the great loss they have
suffered as a result of the crash of the plane that was carrying the
family."
The embassy added that it was working with the British
authorities to ensure the speedy handover of the bodies for funerals and
burials in Saudi Arabia.
The plane - an Embraer Phenom 300 - is
reported to have belonged to an aviation firm owned by the Saudi-based
family of the former al-Qaeda leader.
The plane, which was arriving from Milan, Italy, crashed into a
British Car Auctions site at the airfield shortly after 15:00 BST,
exploding on impact.
Eyewitnesses at the scene said there had been a "ball of flames" and "several explosions".
Its pilot and all three passengers were killed but no-one on the ground was injured, Hampshire Police said.
The force is carrying out a joint investigation with the AAIB.
In a statement, Blackbushe Airport said the jet had crashed near the end of the runway while attempting to make a landing.
The Bin Laden family tree
Osama Bin Laden's father Mohammed was originally from Yemen and moved to Saudi Arabia in the 1910s
He became the head of a construction empire that is behind some of the biggest building projects in Saudi Arabia
Mohammed Bin Laden had many wives, and is estimated to have had at least 50 children
His eldest son, Salem Bin Laden, died in a plane crash in Texas in 1988
A spokeswoman for Milan Malpensa Airport confirmed the plane had left at 13:30 BST on its way to Hampshire.
The Saudi General Authority of Civil Aviation tweeted that
the plane was a Saudi-registered private aircraft, and said it would
support the UK's Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) in its
investigation.
Geoff Pierce, an aviation enthusiast from Fleet in Hampshire was at Blackbushe airfield and saw the plane come down.
He
said: "I've seen that type of aircraft land a number of times at the
airport. At first I didn't realise what was happening, I was taking
photos at the time."
He said the plane did not seem to make a normal approach and appeared to be going at high speed.
"The next thing I knew the siren was wailing on the control tower and then I saw a big plume of black smoke."
The crash happened on the border between Hampshire and Surrey
According to eye-witnesses, the jet exploded as it crashed into the car auction site at the airfield
