Brussels not impressed

brussels - The plan of the government to send refugees on Greek islands by ferry back to Turkey in exchange for the inclusion of 250 000 refugees in Europe, has beaten no dent in a packet of butter in Brussels.

The European Commission did not go in there today. 'We have taken note of the proposal, I will not say more,' said spokeswoman Natasha Bertaud. She added did add that commission chairman Juncker in the past has already put forward proposals for a voluntary admission of 20 000 refugees from camps in Turkey and the Middle East, and that this has stirred much response.

The Dutch plan has much in common with what the Commission is already willing, namely the redistribution of 160. 000 migrants who are now in Italy and Greece. That does not work, the next few weeks should be made to progress in this area will the EU not be forced to isolate Greece altogether.
