Extension up to six months of controls on certain sections of the border for five countries of the Schengen area, compulsory partial removal of visas for Turkish citizens, and reform of the European asylum system based on the principle of a fair and supportive common participation. And if a country decides not to accept its share will have to pay a sum of EUR 250 000 for each migrant received (defined this proposal as “blackmail” by the Hungarian foreign minister Peter Szijjarto). Are some of the initiatives on immigration presented to the EU Council by the EU Commission. But the College of Commissioners met today in Brussels has also addressed the issue raised by Austria Brenner: the vice-president of the European Commission Frans Timmermans at present there is “a flow of migrant problem to solve.” And from Rome Prime Minister Matteo Renzi has branded the Vienna initiatives as “propaganda pure exercise.”
Extension of the duration of the checks. The Commission has submitted a recommendation to the EU Council, to allow five countries of the Schengen area to extend the temporary internal border controls up to a maximum of six months, but only for specific boundaries: it is Austria (on the border with Slovenia and Hungary), Germany ( on the border with Austria), Denmark (on the border with Germany), Sweden (in the ports of Police Region South and the Oresund bridge) and Norway (in the ports connected with Denmark, Sweden and Germany). The initiative, based on an article of the Schengen Code never used before, is closely linked to persistent deficiencies in the Greek management of external borders, and for this, for example, between the borders that will be the subject of ‘check’ does not include the Brenner. The initiative was presented by the deputy chairman of the European Commission Frans Timmermans and the European Commissioner for Migration Dimitris Avramopoulos.
In reference to Austria’s concerns, Timmermans explained that the “There are no indications that there is a flow of migrants to solve the problem “,” the comparison between the Brenner and the Balkan route is not based on facts, is based on “emotions, and” I do not see items at this stage that would justify the closure of the border between Austria and Italy. “
the Renzi Austria attack. Definitely harder Matteo Renzi. The Prime Minister, during question time in the House has branded as “pure propaganda exercise” by Austria the question of Brenner: “It ‘a dangerous operation because it plays with fear and when you play with fear you risk to strengthen those who are good to shake the ghosts of the past – said Renzi – the Brenner is a symbol of friendship and dialogue, and the closure is a little more than a provocation that regards the Austrian election campaign “. The Prime Minister recalled that he had raised the opposition of Italy and hoped that “Austria accepts the Migration Compact approach that the EU Commission has accepted and relaunched.”
The dispute in Aula of the League. during question time there was a confrontation between the Northern League party and premier Matteo Renzi. “You have turned Italy into a large refugee camp and Italians in waiters immigrants. Have you reset the security of this country,” he attacked the deputy of the Northern League, Nicola Molteni, who has accused the government of “telling lies and fibs” . The Renzi: “The response data that are cited and who speak of an increase of 50 per cent more migrants arrived in Italy are false. The increase, and the data this morning: 28,658 against 27,500 last year”, said the Prime Minister that before the protests of the League, said: “in the Northeast, there has been the best season of the last twenty years, in spite of who relies on fear.” He added: “155 thousand people who arrived last year. You prefer to call them refugees latch, we went to pick them up because between fear and dignity, we always choose the dignity.”
“Defending Schengen. “” we think that Schengen should be defended. we are back to Schengen, “he told the Prime Minister answering Ignazio La Russa. “It ‘been here in this seat, which was represented Turkey as a kind of country in the process of doing an Ottoman invasion. The previous President of the Council (Berlusconi ed ) was best man the daughter of the president of that ‘dangerous country’ as you described, “said Renzi.
the EU and Turkey. the European Commission has also proposed to grant partial removal compulsory visas for Turkish nationals seeking to enter the Schengen territory. Community executive arrived the political green light, given that the government in Ankara has still not met all 72 criteria required for visa liberalization (there are still five conditions), but it was deemed still to reward the efforts of the Turkish Republic with the abolition of visas for students, tourists and businessmen will stay on European soil for no more than 90 days. Turkish nationals may enter only with biometric passports. The unmet conditions, “the Commission will continue to monitor the continued compliance,” said EU Commissioner Avramopoulos.
Reform of the Dublin Treaty. Since the Commission has arrived also the proposed reform of the European asylum system that exceeds the Dublin Regulation, according to which the main responsibility on migrants’ asylum claims lies with the country of first arrival. The system, which dates back to a time when migration flows were much smaller, has not proved adequate to sustain the crisis of recent years. According to today’s proposal, however, when you arrive in a country exceeds a certain threshold, all those more will be automatically distributed among all the other European countries, according to the principle of equitable and inclusive participation and shared if a country decides to not to accept its share, you will have to pay a sum of 250,000 Euros for each migrant received. But this kind of “fine” has been received no dry Hungary: “It ‘blackmail, is unacceptable and a general European proposal does not,” said the Foreign Minister of Budapest Peter Szijjarto.
