Europe is becoming stricter about taking in refugees
The European Union is aiming to increase strictness in its migration and asylum policies
Representatives of member countries reached an agreement on measures in this regard, including strengthening the protection of the EU’s external borders, at the union’s summit meeting
According to the statement from the EU summit in Brussels, it is planned to prevent unacceptable migration and human trafficking to member countries, strengthen the protection of external borders, and make the deportation of those whose presence is not approved easier and faster
In the statement from this meeting, which continued from Thursday, February 9th until the early hours of Friday, there was no mention of funding for fencing at the EU’s external borders, but it was decided that a budget would be allocated for the infrastructure of the external borders
Austria and Greece particularly supported this plan
