Politico wrote of the challenges facing the EU as it tried to deal with the refugee crisis in Europe in January 2016. It said 'No matter how hard the EU tries to resuscitate efforts to deal with the refugee crisis, its strategy is flatlining. And after months of missed deadlines, mixed messages, pushback from countries, and resistance from refugees themselves, European officials are now grasping desperately for alternatives'. See related url hyperlinks by comments by European Council President Donald Tusk, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, French Prime Minister Manuel Valls and others in January 2016 of the seriousness of the situation facing the European Union in terms of the influx of refugees and the ineffectiveness of the response. Mr Valls said in a BBC interview on the 21 January 2016 Europe needed to take urgent action to control its external borders. 'If Europe is not capable of protecting its own borders, it's the very idea of Europe that will be questioned'. |
