Greece asks EU to freeze asylum claims during border crisis
Greece has urged the European Union to permit member states to suspend all asylum applications temporarily during periods of high migrant arrivals. Greek Migration Minister Thanos Plevris presented the proposal on Thursday, October 1, to European interior ministers in Luxembourg. The plan follows a crisis in Spain's Ceuta in July, where about 70,000 migrants crossed the border in two days.
