(15) If a Member State other than Italy or Greece should be confronted with a similar emergency situation characterised by a sudden inflow of nationals of third countries, the Council, on a proposal from the Commission, and after consulting the European Parliament, may adopt provisional measures for the benefit of the Member State concerned, in line with Article 78(3) of the Treaty. Such measures may include, where appropriate, a suspension of the obligations of that Member State provided for in this Decision. Migration routes are extremely flexible and can change rapidly. In 2015, the eastern Mediterranean route from Turkey into Greece has surpassed the central Mediterranean route from North Africa to Italy as the main source of arrivals by sea. The route of the Black Sea from Turkey also registered a 193 % increase in the number of detections of illegal border-crossing in 2014. The Commission must thus closely monitor the situation on a permanent basis so as to introduce the necessary changes as regards Member States' obligation and to adapt to new circumstances.
