Britain and France have opened a new centre in the French border town of Calais, to check illegal immigration. The Joint Operational Coordination Centre (JOCC) was opened by Immigration Minister Phil Woolas and the French Minister for Immigration, Eric Besson. The JOCC was set up following the Evian Summit of G8 countries last July. This will allow greater intelligence sharing, a joint approach to border security, and inter-agency operations to counter illegal migration and break up international human trafficking rings. In Callias many illegal immigrants from India and other parts of the world gather to try and make their way into Britain.
