brussels - The Member States of the European Union must honor their commitments they have made to tackle the refugee crisis really fulfilling. EU Minister Donald Tusk and President of the European Commission JeAu-Claude Juncker Friday sent a letter to all 28 countries with the message that they must " deliver ".
Member States pledged a month ago to cough up 2.8 billion euros for the United Nations refugee and food program and for funds to Syria and Africa. So far only pledged more than half a billion.
Just over a month ago believed the countries 160 000 refugees relocate from Italy and Greece. Commitments have been in for only 1375 people. So far brought 86 refugees in total, from Italy to Sweden and Finland.
The commitment to 374 asylum experts and 743 border guards to be delivered are not even half fulfilled. It is not the first time that Member States are reminded of the slow realization of their promises.
