Greece and Germany support the adoption of European solutions and reject one sided measures being taken by member states in relation to asylum and migrants, said Migration Policy Minister Dimitris Vitsas on Friday.
His comments come after the completion of negotiations between Germany, Greece and Spain that had been reached in a meeting between Angela Merkel, Alexis Tsipras and Pedro Sanchez in Brussels.
In the next few days there will be an exchange of letters between the relevant ministries in Greece and Germany on the issues of migration which will include an administrative arrangement, said Vitsas.
The letter refers to additional support Germany will provide Greece at the European Council in the event of a refugee crisis. Berlin will also take initiatives to support the reception centers Greece operates on five of its islands.
The deal foresees that Germany will be able to return to Greece any adult refugee spotted on its border with Austria, if that person has applied for asylum in Greece.
In return, Germany has agreed to complete by the end of the year family reunifications for refugees which it has agreed to but has since frozen.
