EU Summit on refugee: Europe will not leave Greece alone

EU proposes the member states to provide administrative support to Greece, including judges, interpreters, translators and administrators

While the European Union meeting on refugee is still in progress, EU sources say that European Council President Donald Tusk presented a new plan based on which the talks will continue today.

The plan provides European Union to support Greece at technical level, so as to legitimize and make sustainable the mechanism for the readmission of refugees and immigrants to Turkey.

According to a EU official, the European Union proposes the member states to provide administrative support to Greece, including judges, interpreters, translators and administrators of Frontex aiming to efficiently equip the refugee centers on the Greek islands and mainland to process more quickly the asylum requests.

“All this is done in the context of not leaving Greece alone, and achieving a massive European support. The alternative to this plan is to have many “Idomeni camps”, said a EU top official highlighting the seriousness of the situation.
