Shafaqna English- Greece has urged the European Union to allow member states to suspend asylum applications during periods of mass migration.
The proposal was submitted to the EU interior ministers’ meeting in Luxembourg on Thursday during the Justice and Home Affairs Council, and appeared to draw support from some member states.
Greek Migration Minister Thanos Plevris said the EU’s migration pact, which took effect in June, had improved the bloc’s ability to manage migration flows but had not gone far enough.
