French PM: Europe can receive no more refugees By Peter Teffer-NOV 25,15-EUOBSERVER
Brussels, Today, 09:29-France's prime minister Manuel Valls told several newspapers Tuesday (24 November) he wants Europe to completely halt the influx of migrants from the Middle East, as Sweden announced it would become more strict with asylum seekers.“We cannot receive more refugees in Europe. It is not possible”, Valls said, according to the Sueddeutsche Zeitung, adding that Europe must control its external borders.“If we do not do that, then the people will say: it's over with Europe”, noted the centre-left politician.Valls was careful not to criticise the German chancellor's welcoming policy towards refugees directly, calling it an “honourable choice”. However, he did say that France cannot take more refugees than the 30,000 it has promised to take until the end of 2016 under an EU relocation scheme.“It was not France that said 'Come!'”, he added. President Francois Hollande is receiving Angela Merkel Wednesday. Meanwhile on Tuesday, his colleague responsible for France's economy, minister Emmanuel Macron, presented a Franco-German proposal for a €10 billion refugee crisis fund. Macron and his German counterpart, economy minister Sigmar Gabriel, jointly sent Hollande and Merkel their idea for a fund which would pay for tighter security, external border controls, and for looking after refugees, Reuters agency reported.Macron noted that a joint response was called for.“The risk is that our people, our political parties, our governments decide to treat this problem separately or even work against each other,” Macron said.However, tension between EU member states on the refugee crisis continues. Slovakia announced Tuesday it would file its legal case against the relocation scheme before 18 December. The central European country is opposed to the plan, which was agreed in September against the will of Slovakia, Czech Republic, Hungary, and Romania.Also on Tuesday, Denmark announced it would no longer take part in the relocation scheme. Having an “opt-out”, Denmark was not obliged to take in refugees from Italy and Greece, to help reduce pressure there, but it had promised in September to voluntarily take in up to 1,000 people.Prime minister Lars Loekke Rasmussen has now broken that promise.“When we made the offer it was because we needed to solve what was viewed in Europe as the ultimate solution: that if you could distribute those 160,000, the problem would be gone. It is not,” said Rasmussen.In Sweden, a popular destination for asylum seekers, the government announced the situation has become “untenable”.Prime minister Stefan Lofven told the press Tuesday that Sweden, which expects 190,000 asylum seekers this year, can no longer cope with the influx of migrants.“Now, to put it bluntly, more people will have to seek asylum and get protection in other European countries,” Lofven said, as quoted by Reuters.He announced tighter border controls and stricter asylum rules for the next three years, to provide Sweden's asylum system with “breathing space”.The move prompted neighbouring Norway to tighten border controls as well.Meanwhile, the migration debate has been influenced by the increased fear of terrorism.French PM Valls in the interview noted that “public opinion is aware” that at least two of the Paris attackers “entered Europe by mixing in with the refugees”.That two of almost 860,000 people who have arrived in Europe this year came with malevolent intent may be no statistical surprise, but it has prompted renewed calls to halt migration.EU commission president Jean-Claude Juncker called on his fellow politicians not to mix terrorists and migrants, but several seem increasingly willing to do that.On Tuesday, Czech president Milos Zeman said the “danger has come close to our borders”.“It is naive to think there is no link between the migrant wave and terrorism, because then we would have to assume the migrant wave includes no potential jihadists,” he was quoted by AFP as saying.Meanwhile, AFP reported Tuesday that over 1,500 people – mostly Iranians, Moroccans, Bangladeshis, and Pakistanis – are waiting at the Greek-Macedonian border, hoping for a policy reversal.Non-EU member Macedonia decided last week to close its borders to all migrants except those from Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan, following similar decisions by countries further up the Balkan migration route.“I will stay here until they let me through,” an Iranian migrant told AFP. “If I return home I will be either jailed or killed.”Arrivals by boat also continue. On Tuesday 140 people arrived by yacht on the Greek island of Lesbos, and two bodies were found.
Brussels reopens schools despite terrorist threat By Andrew Rettman-NOV 25,15-EU OBSERVER
BRUSSELS, Today, 09:29-Brussels, the Belgian and EU capital, takes its first steps back to normality on Wednesday (25 November), but the terrorist threat level is still maximum.All the city’s more than 1,000 schools and creches reopened after a two-day closure, while metro services, stopped since Saturday, resumed at 35 out of 69 stations.Authorities told parents that shopping malls, not schools, were the intended targets of a terrorist attack, and deployed 300 security officers at schools and 200 more on metro lines.But with Brussels' security alert to stay at the maximum level - level four - until at least Monday, some schools quietly told parents they won’t take punitive action if children stay home.Soldiers and armoured vehicles will continue to patrol main shopping streets and national museums are to stay closed.The national crisis centre told employers it's up to them whether to let staff stay home until the threat level goes down.The organisers of Christmas markets in the city centre, due to open Friday, have been told to wait until Thursday for advice on whether to go ahead.Retail associations say Brussels' shops lost up to 68 percent of income in recent days, citing losses in the “tens of millions of euros."Sporting events are partly to resume. But a Bruges-Naples football game is to be played at an empty stadium, the Jan Breydel stadium, due to lack of police capacity.For its part, the US embassy in Brussels cancelled all consular appointments for the rest of the week.It said: “We urge that you exercise caution and avoid large public gatherings such as major pedestrian walkways and shopping centres.”Belgian authorities are still trying to apprehend 10 people believed to have been planning Paris-type attacks with “heavy weapons” and “suicide bombs."Police raids in recent days caught one man charged with involvement in the Paris murders.Belgian prosecutors on Tuesday also issued a national and a European arrest warrant for Mohamed Abrini, a 30-year old man filmed by CCTV at a petrol station in France with Salah Abdeslam, a Paris fugitive.Meanwhile, the security scramble has triggered political debate.Belgian education minister Joelle Milquet advised schools to create bunker-type rooms where children could shelter in the event of an attack.But Yvan Mayeur, the mayor of Brussels, rejected the idea, saying “We cannot live under an Islamist regime … We have to avoid hysteria.”Karl Vanlouwe, a Flemish member of the Belgian senate, writing in the Le Soir newspaper, accused the French-speaking Socialist Party of “20 years of laxity” which turned Brussels into a “rear base of Islamic barbarity."The Flemish interior minister, Jan Jambon, said: “The question I ask myself is: Why did we succeed to eradicate radicalism in Antwerp and other Flemish cities, and why doesn’t it work in Brussels?”.The French-speaking foreign minister, Didier Reynders, said he'll embark on a campaign to improve Belgium's image, amid alarmist headlines about the country in British, French, Italian, and German press.Manuel Valls, the French prime minister, in an interview with several European dailies, out on Tuesday, praised Belgium’s handling of the crisis.“Charles Michel [the Belgian PM] took a decision in the face of a threat. It’s not governments, but terrorist acts, which cause psychosis, anxiety,” he said.He declined to criticise Belgian intelligence for failing to stop the Paris attacks, citing “exemplary cooperation” with French services.He also said the war against terrorism will be “long. It will last for months, years.”
Opinion-The EU's crisis within a crisis By Angelos Chryssogelos-euobserver
Athens, 25. Nov, 09:26-With Europe currently absorbed by the refugee crisis and, after the Paris attacks, its security implications, the Eurozone crisis, once considered an ‘existential threat’ to the EU, suddenly feels remote.The EU’s capacity to respond effectively to the migration emergency in the coming months, however, is heavily conditioned by the legacy of the Eurozone crisis.There are three parallels between the Eurozone and the migration crises: the hybrid nature of European governance structures that are little prepared to face up to major external challenges; the preeminence of Germany as a key player; and the important role of a peripheral country – Greece – as a conduit for an external challenge that is becoming an internal crisis.These issues will determine whether and how the EU will overcome the refugee crisis. They are also, all the same, the areas in which the EU’s capacities have been most stretched by the Eurozone crisis.First, much as the Eurozone, Schengen reflects the willingness of EU member-states to cooperate in an area that touches upon the core of national sovereignty (border control), but without fully delegating decision-making and legislative and regulatory initiatives to a supranational agency (like the Commission in ‘first pillar’ policies).While the involvement of the Commission can be significant, political impetus requires intergovernmental agreement while effective implementation relies on national policies, in border control as much as macroeconomic policy.This makes both structures slow in responding to external challenges.-External challenges-The global financial crisis started in the USA and the current refugee crisis has its origins in the Middle East and Africa; but in both cases, the mechanisms the EU had devised for managing those policy areas were neither centralised nor flexible enough to respond swiftly.The situation is further complicated by the fact that these imperfectly designed structures did not cover related policy areas – there is no real common asylum policy to complement joint management of external borders, just as there was no banking union alongside monetary union.As in the Eurozone, national leaders will ultimately have to agree on the distribution of burdens among themselves, as well as to bolster supranational institutions, in order to resolve the refugee crisis.But the Eurozone crisis has depleted precisely these assets (political will, trust between member-states, and the room of maneuver of elites vis-à-vis national public opinions) that are indispensable for such an arrangement to arise any time soon.The reactions to the Commission’s refugee relocation scheme and the race to throw up fences in central Europe foreshadow a protracted and potentially toxic negotiation process.-Germany's role-Second, the Eurozone crisis has left a complex legacy with regard to Germany’s role.Because of the Eurozone crisis the EU acquired a go-to leader in times of emergency: Germany, and particularly its chancellor Angela Merkel.Merkel’s decision to accept Syrian refugees can be seen as an example of Germany carrying over the leadership role it acquired during the Eurozone crisis.Absent Germany’s initiative, the consequences could have been devastating – with thousands of refugees stranded in the Balkans, and a mounting humanitarian crisis potentially destabilising south-eastern Europe and tarnishing the EU’s global image as a normative power.The initial reaction of a majority of Germans was to welcome refugees, but Merkel’s decision was not taken in a vacuum.During the Eurozone crisis German elites tried hard to balance the need for Germany to safeguard the achievements of European integration with the need to keep German public opinion on board with the sacrifices and costs this entailed.The same considerations are in play in the refugee crisis, only more burdened by the Eurozone legacy.It took just a few weeks for negative sentiments towards Merkel’s handling to surface.That the anti-euro AfD party is now the vehicle for anti-immigrant feelings showcases the neat continuities between the frictions created by the Eurozone crisis and the constraints the German government will face in providing leadership in the refugee issue.The Greek epicenter- The third parallel between the Eurozone and refugee crisis concerns the importance of a peripheral, but strategically placed, member-state: Greece.Since 2010, Greece had largely been the epicenter of attention.While the EU was focusing on the Greek economy, however, the groundwork for the refugee crisis was being laid.The new radical leftist Syriza government allowed free passage for refugees and migrants through Greek soil, as they moved from Turkey to Europe in the first half of 2015.Much as in financial matters, Greece was the crack in the edifice that allowed an external crisis to flood the EU.Just like in Eurozone politics, the long-term viability and attractiveness of the European project will be under stress in the following months as the capacity of the EU to keep its zone of free internal movement and common protection of external borders intact is tested.Again, Greece may be the crucial test of Europe’s credibility. Ironically, the radical leftist ideology of Tsipras and his government makes them an amenable partner to moderates like Merkel and the Commission in the refugee issue.Tsipras has been willing to collaborate with the EU on this issue, probably expecting rewards in the question of the Greek debt. This expectation presupposes that the tone in the EU will continue to be given by the moderates.-Schengen zone-This, however, is doubtful after the Paris attacks. At the same time, with the EU’s refugee relocation scheme ineffectual and the states of the Western Balkans erecting fences along their borders, the capacity of the EU to offer relief is rapidly lagging behind the still huge daily inflows of refugees to Greek islands.Greece may soon realise that, instead of contemplating relaxing its economic terms in exchange for Greece’s cooperation in the refugee question, the EU (or at least some European politicians) will begin contemplating an expulsion of Greece from Schengen as the most effective (and cheaper) way to safeguard freedom of movement in Europe.The governance deficits of the Greek polity and the imperfect integration in the area of border protection may very soon make the discussion about the EU’s territorial integrity and the irreversibility of European integration flare up again.The above does not mean that the EU will necessarily fail to survive the refugee crisis.As with the Eurozone, a combination of skillful diplomacy, purposeful leadership (particularly by Germany) and a sense of urgency may yet allow collaborative solutions to emerge.Yet there is no reason to expect this to be a smooth process. Instead, much will depend on the political capital that national governments across Europe still have at their disposal in order to push through compromises with their respective publics.The long shadow of five years of painstaking Eurozone crisis management will make this a tougher challenge than any the EU has ever faced.Angelos Chryssogelos is a research fellow at the Hellenic Observatory of the LSE and an Academy associate fellow at the Europe Programme of Chatham House.

They are also, all the same, the areas in which the EU’s capacities have been most stretched by the Eurozone crisis.First, much as the Eurozone, Schengen reflects the willingness of EU member-states to cooperate in an area that touches upon the core of national sovereignty (border control), but without fully delegating decision-making and legislative and regulatory initiatives to a supranational agency (like the Commission in ‘first pillar’ policies).While the involvement of the Commission can be significant, political impetus requires intergovernmental agreement while effective implementation relies on national policies, in border control as much as macroeconomic policy.This makes both structures slow in responding to external challenges.-External challenges-The global financial crisis started in the USA and the current refugee crisis has its origins in the Middle East and Africa; but in both cases, the mechanisms the EU had devised for managing those policy areas were neither centralised nor flexible enough to respond swiftly.The situation is further complicated by the fact that these imperfectly designed structures did not cover related policy areas – there is no real common asylum policy to complement joint management of external borders, just as there was no banking union alongside monetary union.As in the Eurozone, national leaders will ultimately have to agree on the distribution of burdens among themselves, as well as to bolster supranational institutions, in order to resolve the refugee crisis.But the Eurozone crisis has depleted precisely these assets (political will, trust between member-states, and the room of maneuver of elites vis-à-vis national public opinions) that are indispensable for such an arrangement to arise any time soon.The reactions to the Commission’s refugee relocation scheme and the race to throw up fences in central Europe foreshadow a protracted and potentially toxic negotiation process.-Germany's role-Second, the Eurozone crisis has left a complex legacy with regard to Germany’s role.Because of the Eurozone crisis the EU acquired a go-to leader in times of emergency: Germany, and particularly its chancellor Angela Merkel.Merkel’s decision to accept Syrian refugees can be seen as an example of Germany carrying over the leadership role it acquired during the Eurozone crisis.Absent Germany’s initiative, the consequences could have been devastating – with thousands of refugees stranded in the Balkans, and a mounting humanitarian crisis potentially destabilising south-eastern Europe and tarnishing the EU’s global image as a normative power.The initial reaction of a majority of Germans was to welcome refugees, but Merkel’s decision was not taken in a vacuum.During the Eurozone crisis German elites tried hard to balance the need for Germany to safeguard the achievements of European integration with the need to keep German public opinion on board with the sacrifices and costs this entailed.The same considerations are in play in the refugee crisis, only more burdened by the Eurozone legacy.It took just a few weeks for negative sentiments towards Merkel’s handling to surface.That the anti-euro AfD party is now the vehicle for anti-immigrant feelings showcases the neat continuities between the frictions created by the Eurozone crisis and the constraints the German government will face in providing leadership in the refugee issue.The Greek epicenter- The third parallel between the Eurozone and refugee crisis concerns the importance of a peripheral, but strategically placed, member-state: Greece.Since 2010, Greece had largely been the epicenter of attention.While the EU was focusing on the Greek economy, however, the groundwork for the refugee crisis was being laid.The new radical leftist Syriza government allowed free passage for refugees and migrants through Greek soil, as they moved from Turkey to Europe in the first half of 2015.Much as in financial matters, Greece was the crack in the edifice that allowed an external crisis to flood the EU.Just like in Eurozone politics, the long-term viability and attractiveness of the European project will be under stress in the following months as the capacity of the EU to keep its zone of free internal movement and common protection of external borders intact is tested.Again, Greece may be the crucial test of Europe’s credibility. Ironically, the radical leftist ideology of Tsipras and his government makes them an amenable partner to moderates like Merkel and the Commission in the refugee issue.Tsipras has been willing to collaborate with the EU on this issue, probably expecting rewards in the question of the Greek debt. This expectation presupposes that the tone in the EU will continue to be given by the moderates.-Schengen zone-This, however, is doubtful after the Paris attacks. At the same time, with the EU’s refugee relocation scheme ineffectual and the states of the Western Balkans erecting fences along their borders, the capacity of the EU to offer relief is rapidly lagging behind the still huge daily inflows of refugees to Greek islands.Greece may soon realise that, instead of contemplating relaxing its economic terms in exchange for Greece’s cooperation in the refugee question, the EU (or at least some European politicians) will begin contemplating an expulsion of Greece from Schengen as the most effective (and cheaper) way to safeguard freedom of movement in Europe.The governance deficits of the Greek polity and the imperfect integration in the area of border protection may very soon make the discussion about the EU’s territorial integrity and the irreversibility of European integration flare up again.The above does not mean that the EU will necessarily fail to survive the refugee crisis.As with the Eurozone, a combination of skillful diplomacy, purposeful leadership (particularly by Germany) and a sense of urgency may yet allow collaborative solutions to emerge.Yet there is no reason to expect this to be a smooth process. Instead, much will depend on the political capital that national governments across Europe still have at their disposal in order to push through compromises with their respective publics.The long shadow of five years of painstaking Eurozone crisis management will make this a tougher challenge than any the EU has ever faced.Angelos Chryssogelos is a research fellow at the Hellenic Observatory of the LSE and an Academy associate fellow at the Europe Programme of Chatham House.
