European Commission: Schengen further pressure

brussels - The European Union still has ten days to curb the influx of asylum seekers from Turkey, otherwise 'the risk that the whole system has collapsed completely into each other.' That said, the European Commissioner for Migration Dimitris Avramopoulos Thursday.

Avramopoulos made his remarks after a meeting of the European Ministers of Justice and Home Affairs on the refugee issue. More and more EU Member States on their own initiative throw their borders closed, so as to limit the influx of refugees. This brings the Schengen treaty, which he arranges free movement of persons and goods, under pressure.
