Commissioner Avramopoulos: “Greece has been out of Dublin since 2011, it’s time to change it”




Greece has been out of Dublin since 2011. It’s time to change that,” EU Commissioner for Migration Dimitris Avramopoulos said on Wednesday adding that this does not mean transfer of people back to Greece.

As he said, the aim is to meet the terms which were not met for years. Avramopoulos stated that the European Commision will make a proposal for the revision of Dublin in March, as this framework is no longer “appropriate” to address the problem.

“Dublin exists and we need to respect it until we revise it,” he concluded.
