Refugee crisis creates ‘unbearable’ situation in EU - Finnish PM
The situation caused by the huge influx of refugees to Europe, has created an absolutely "unbearable" atmosphere in the European Union, Finnish Prime Minister Juha Sipila said Sunday. Kazinform has learnt from Sputnik International. "At present, the situation is unbearable, because the Schengen system is not working. The checks stipulated by the agreement are not carried out at the external borders," Sipila said in an interview with the Finnish Kaleva newspaper. According to him, there is a necessity for distribution centers at the external borders to start functioning in an appropriate way. Earlier this week, the Finnish Interior Ministry unveiled new projected data on refugees, saying that about 30,000-35,000 asylum-seekers may arrive in the country by year-end. A majority of asylum seekers coming to the Northern European nation at present are of Iraqi origin, the Finnish Immigration Service statistical data shows.
