 shortly after the end of the EU Council of Interior Ministers satisfied with the political support received by most countries members to the objections of Greece against the policy of Austria, and in particular, in its initiative to convene in Vienna mini conference on refugee.

During the meeting the Minister stressed that the attitude of Austria is unilateral, not friendly and violates previous decisions of the EU summit. He added that the attitude of Austria harms Greece, removing the time it takes to prepare while damaging the EU's why raise national unilateral solutions in conjunction with other countries (Visegrad) and countries that are not EU members.

The C. Mouzala denied there was "electric atmosphere" during the meeting, in contrast, he said that the atmosphere was friendly, as opposed to unilateral actions expressed by the majority of countries. He noted, however, that there was little tension given the differences of opinion Athens and Vienna on the subject.

Deputy Interior Minister also did not hide that Greece in the coming days "difficult times" may be gone, but noting that "we will succeed." The C. Mouzala said that Greece is currently not requested humanitarian aid from Europe, but noted that Athens has prepared a contingency plan which has been submitted to the European Commission and the EU Dutch Presidency.

The EU countries need to jointly address the immigration crisis, along with Turkey and the countries in the Balkan corridor, said Dutch Interior Minister Klaas Ntaikof, shortly after the end of the EU Interior Ministers Council.

The Dutch interior minister said that the Council noted the progress made so far on the implementation of the decisions taken.

   --- D. Avramopoulos

The Immigration Commissioner Dimitris Avramopoulos said that all member states have the responsibility to implement what has been agreed at European level.

He said the situation along the Balkan corridor is very critical. He added that the potential humanitarian crisis is real and very near. "We can not continue through unilateral, bilateral, or trilateral actions," said D. Avramopoulos noting that the first negative consequences are already visible. "We all have a collective responsibility towards neighboring countries within and outside Europe, but especially toward those people who are in despair ?, added the immigration commissioner.

He continued saying that; we can not continue to follow the policy of promoting refugee waves in the next country ( "wave through policy"), we can not put limits on the number of asylum seekers. This simply contrary to European and international standards ?.

The D. Avramopoulos said he has asked all Member States to respect the rules. He added that the Commission is working on a contingency plan within and outside the EU in which the IOM involved (IOM) and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and which will be ready in the coming days. He stressed, however, that the emergency plan can not replace the previous commitments made by EU countries.

Regarding Greece, the D. Avramopoulos said that the Commission monitor the situation closely. He added that Greece has taken its obligations, but needs our support to increase reception capacity and with the help of UNHCR and IOM.

"To those who believe in national solutions on the pretext that the European approach does not work, I say clearly: national actions are those that directly hinder a European approach ?, said D. Avramopoulos and concluded by saying that; now is the time for results ; and; there is no time to lose. "

- Reply Mouzala the Austrian minister

The Interior Minister. Johanna Miklos Laitner lure Austria into increasingly hostile actions against Greece and the European Union in order to justify the previous anti-European unilateral actions and isolation have caused. The UNHCR, the Frontex, the European Commission, the majority of the Union Member States and the EU Presidency They denounced today as they have done in the past, the unilateral actions.



Ms. Johanna Miklos Laitner in its statements, not telling the truth. The Greece and Mr. Mouzala claim in all tones that keeps our country in the best possible way the borders of which form the borders of Europe. This fact is confirmed by Frontex, the European Commission and many other organizations with formal settings. Actions and statements like Mrs Laitner not help solve the problem but the swelling of.
