  GERMAN Chancellor Angela Merkel fears that unless EU nations develop a consistent migration policy, a “domino effect” would cause massive problems throughout the bloc, as she battles to prevent the collapse of her beleaguered coalition Government.

  Mrs Merkel, leader of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) made her remarks during a press conference during which she confirmed she had agreed a compromise deal with coalition partner the Christian Social Union which gives her one last chance to thrash out an EU-wide deal on migrants at the European Council summit on June 28 and 29, at which the issue will be up for discussion.
