| EU says Austrian asylum-seeker cap unlawful |
| 2016-02-19 |
| [BASTROPENTERPRISE] The EU's top migration official says an Austrian plan to cap asylum-seeker numbers unlawful. Dimitris Avramopoulos said in a letter Thursday that "Austria has a legal obligation to accept any asylum application that is made on its territory or at its border." The letter to Austria's interior minister, seen by The Associated Press, said imposing a ceiling on asylum-seekers "would be plainly incompatible with Austria's obligations" under EU and international law. |
