France is sending 120 extra police officers to Calais where the crisis surrounding the ever-increasing number of migrants trying to reach the UK has been worsening.
They will be deployed to safeguard the Eurotunnel terminal.
“The Eurotunnel group also has to assume its responsibilities, of course, notably regarding the security inside its own entity. I am saying this in a spirit of responsibility, not in a spirit of controversy, because the issue is too serious not to do it this way,” said French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve.
A man from Sudan was killed by a lorry on Tuesday night after an estimated 1,500 migrants had tried to get into the tunnel.
On Wednesday afternoon police in Paris said a man was electrocuted trying to get jump on board a Eurostar train bound for London. Reports said he was believed to be an Egyptian.
