Tsipras: Allocation of responsibility and solidarity among EU fundamental principles
ΣΧΕΤΙΚΑ ΑΡΘΡΑ
We have principles and values in Europe and one of our fundamental principles is the allocation of responsibility as well as solidarity, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said on Monday upon his arrival at the EU summit.
He said that the refugee issue is a common, European problem, and not a problem of one country and stressed the importance of finding common, European solutions. “Unfortunately, there were agreements between the two summits that were not implemented from everyone, and this is a problem for Europe.”
“Today we are looking forward to concrete results in the meeting with Turkey in order to implement the Action Plan, to substantially reduce flows to Greece and combat networks of smugglers,” Tsipras stated, adding that it is necessary to “significantly accelerate the process of relocation and have a credible relocation process.”
