webfact Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 EU fails to agree plan to share 120,000 refugeesThe Associated PressBUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — The European Union has failed to reach agreement on a plan to share 120,000 refugees arriving in Italy, Greece and Hungary.Luxembourg Foreign Minister Jean Asselborn said late Monday after chairing a meeting of EU interior ministers that "it is premature for the Council to take a decision today."Asselborn said that "even though we are in urgent circumstances we have to follow procedures."The Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary had been among the nations opposed leading up to the emergency meeting.Earlier, they rubber-stamped a plan drawn up in May to share 40,000 refugees from Greece and Italy, but not all member states are yet willing to accept the number of refugees that have been allocated to them under that plan.-- (c) Associated Press 2015-09-15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toany Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 120,000 is just a small proportion of those that will want to flee the conflict and those that want a better life. Germany has promised a better life to anybody that wants it and now the floodgate are open. What happens to the millions that will now try to travel for a better life. The damage is done in giving people hope. Saying you have changed your mind will not stop people coming to the EU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baboon Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 (edited) Finally it seems to be registering with European leaders that the 120,000 have families who will wish to join them and behind the families are 120,000 more who also have families and behind them... Tough decisions are going to have to be made and soon, or it will be the end of their EU project. Edited September 15, 2015 by baboon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total silence from Merkel and Junker whose speech last week was nothing but self-congratulation on how humanitarian Europe was. Now that the mess that everyone, except European leaders, could see happening is well under way it's strangely silent in the corridors of power.

Where are the Saudis and other arab nations on refugees? Thailand, Japan, South Korea and Malaysia don't like foreigners (even paying ones) much to begin with. There's no way they'd be dumb enough politically correct enough to take in foreigners they have to pay for. As for Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States?....simple...they're too careful to adopt a bunch of poor and potentially volatile malcontents. Besides, no one wants to go there anyway.

A land of low crime, little graffiti, no no go zones, no begging, no Halal and no culture enrichers.I guess they can forego the approval of western progressives in exchange for having a safe unspoiled Country.

Now that the mess that everyone, except European leaders, could see happening is well under way it's strangely silent in the corridors of power. Of course. Both hoped to force a situation where enforced quotas would be handed down to member countries. And of course, Merkel and Junker thought they should be the ones who decided how many each country should take. Looking after what she perceives "German interests" and advancing her and Juncker's goal of a federal EU with centralized government under German patronage. Wonder how much of that DDR and Staasi indoctrination still exits in her? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toany Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I am not sure the migrants would want to come to Thailand as there are not the free handouts, benefits that they will be able to get in the EU. They would have to work to survive here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My post was somewhat tongue in cheek, and I do approve of their helping using their foreign aid budget. My point about not encouraging immigration stands of course.http://m.jpost.com/Breaking-News/Japan-sets-out-extra-curbs-on-asylum-seekers-416193 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exsexyman Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Why don't we ever hear of Thailand, Japan, South Korea, an Malaysia taking refugees? Where are the Saudis and other arab nations on refugees? Perhaps it's because Thailand, Japan, South Korea and Malaysia were not responsible for bombing and destroying Middle Eastern countries, effectively handing them over to Islamic extremists, which has caused this problem in the first place. Just a thought! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farangmick Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Merkel told them all to come to Germany, 500,000 a year. Now less than a tenth of them have arrived, the Germans say they cannot cope. Tough. Now trying to force all the EU countries dependent on handouts to take some, but the ingrates turn round and say screw you Angela. Ha Ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
