Poland criticizes the quota mechanism for mandatory relocation of migrants after the approval of the Asylum Pact

April 10 () –

The Prime Minister of Poland, Donald Tusk, criticized this Wednesday the mechanism of mandatory migrant relocation quotas after the plenary session of the European Parliament has given the 'green light' to the Migration and Asylum Pact that will reform the common policy with greater control of the external borders of the European Union.

“We will find a way that, even if the migration pact comes into force more or less in the form that has been voted on today, we protect Poland against the relocation mechanism,” he stressed, as reported by the PAP news agency.

The European Union reached a political agreement last December on all the regulations that make up the Migration and Asylum Pact, which this Wednesday received the approval of the European Parliament and which only remains to be formally adopted by the Twenty-Seven – scheduled for the end of this month– to make the new framework law.

Tusk has thus charged against one of the files that are part of the immigration reform that provides for a mandatory system of relocation of asylum seekers if a country is overwhelmed, but that in practice dilutes the mandatory quotas because it assures governments a ' 'solidarity a la carte' to avoid reception by relocated migrants if they pay compensation for each rejected transfer.
