Greece will be helped to
overcome problems controlling the influx of migrants and
refugees across its external borders in conformity with the
solidarity demanded by European treaties, Undersecretary for
European Affairs Sandro Gozi said Tuesday.
"When a country is in particular difficulty, not a kind
heart but the (European) treaties demand solidarity with that
country," Gozi said in reference to last Friday's ultimatum by
EU member states to Athens to clean up its act on migrants or
effectively face exclusion from the Schengen passport-free area.
"This is a legally binding principle and it is a principle
that we have always applied, for Greece and for other
countries," he continued.
