Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has indicated that his country will no longer comply with the Dublin Regulation, an EU legal act that allows asylum seekers to be returned to the member state in which they first applied for protection.
Such a move would mark a further escalation in the Polish government’s increasingly tough line on migrants and asylum seekers. Tusk’s announcement prompted the European Commission to remind Poland that “all member states are required to fully comply with current asylum rules”.
While I do not support Polands decision to break the rules, I also think that the Dublin Agreement is dead for years at this point. Its time for the EU and its members to accept that and finaly find a new solution.
It may have had a sense when every EU country was at an outer border… But today, it makes no sense and overloads the weakest members (Southern and Eastern states).
You mean like the alternatives Poland helped block?
