8:24 pm
council of refugees and examples an alliance of more than 100 n.g.o.s working on the rights of refugees and asylum seekers in europe in high wycombe u.k. via skype john campbell emma is reader of apology us university of london and in berlin earlier a. political scientist and professor in european studies at stanford university in berlin welcome to the program catherine is there any chance one of the e.u. countries will let in this stranded migrants in the mediterranean. we have hoped that a preliminary agreement that has been negotiated will come into play this is an agreement that was put together by france and germany and mts 2 weeks ago it's something we've been calling for for more than a year now and that but it's based on the model of a coalition of willing european countries stepping in to allow disembarkation and relocation so that the current crisis in the mediterranean the 2 ships that are
8:25 pm
stranded illustrate the need for exactly this kind of agreement so that we don't have a crisis ship by ship every time a rescue ship arrives john as the crisis continues we haven't we. seen any positive reaction from a european country saying that you know what with think we should be taking them in hard to explain this hardline stance is because of the winds of the anti migrant sentiment in most of the european countries well it's under only partly to do with this could it's also to do with the electoral problems electoral issues arising around national elections across the e.u. particularly for example it's a rising in the u.k. risen spain earlier this year but it's also to do with the current concerns about the economic crisis across european union. really rick is that any chance that the germans all the friends would prevail over the italians and the greek of the
8:26 pm
martyrs who seem to be really tough on this issue of migrants well we have very different starting conditions in germany we have a societal discussion about living with foreigners being a multicultural society for a long time while in central and eastern europe for example we have very homogenized societies with something like 99 percent of checks and poles and for them it takes a longer time to get used to the fact that in the 21st century you don't live in isolated cultural homogenized spaces and there is a need to address things on a european level you need to leave the situation is not so much a question of they are willing and able to live with others but they have a government service on a way for a few europe that they created by themselves so it's not so much a question of what is the actual problem but how does the government instrumentalists fear and is it in their interest to keep the migration crisis
8:27 pm
coing catherine is italy's interior minister matteo salvini a factor in this whole crisis because the man is tough we know his approach and he seems to be gaining momentum and italy is the reason why many other european countries are saying we cannot afford to do what multi any is opposed to so van a has clearly provoked this crisis on 2 levels firstly by preventing and disrupting search and rescue and preventing ships from disembarking in italy but on the 2nd level by introducing reforms in italy which are increasing pay put them the number of people in irregular situations and also increasing destitution unnecessarily and that's leading to onward movement so serving a it was predictable that's. veni would do this this was part of the electoral program during the campaign last year at the same time other countries are not
8:28 pm
without faute for a long time italy has criticized the european rules which main there's a disproportionate responsibility for the countries at the border and the reason that this government was elected in italy is partly because of the perception that the rest of europe doesn't do enough to support the countries at the borders jonathan says something has to do with the election campaign that is going now in italy do you expect the crisis to some how fade away after the stop elections if those elections are to be held you know this this will not go away catherine is absolutely right the issue is about perception of refugees and migrants entering europe and particularly more homogeneous communities. the politicians of some of these type or using this fear this misperception of refugees as if somehow these people are not human and do not have
8:29 pm
valuable lives as well derek are you of the view that this is something which is going to continue even after the snap elections in italy. well it certainly won't go away because 1st of all this is not just a single issue or root cause but we have a number of structural problems given the situation in africa and in the wider middle east plus an increasing pressure that comes from climate change that forces people to leave their homes and move further north so what we see is just sort of a the peak of the the iceberg what is happening in the near future with migration from the south to the north and europe has to address this with a more comprehensive approach and not just with small coalition of the willing or border protection ideas of single countries or the european commission.
8:30 pm
catherine speaking about a comprehensive approach this is obviously a very divisive issue among the countries but how can they tackle it when they disagree about everything about the reform and about the asylum system. well that needs to be changes on 2 levels in the short term we have an ongoing humanitarian emergency in the mediterranean with the death rate the number of people dying per attempted crossing increasing all the time so that has to be dealt with through the reasons of humanitarian imperative and for that reason we argue for any country that is willing to be part of a coalition to resolve that to get on board and those negotiations has been taking place over the last year so it's not impossible it's something that should be a priority after that we need long term changes and long term reform and that has to be a decision that is taken collectively so there we would propose for
8:31 pm
a restart of the discussions on the so-called dublin regulation which is the rule that governs the country that is responsible for dealing with an asylum application and i were god that we should be careful not to overestimate the popularity of the far right in most countries in europe they remain a minority and even in italy selvi ne is not the most popular politician prime minister kong today has higher poll ratings so what sound really benefits from is the sense of crisis so the longer these situations are treated as a crisis the more the far right benefits he also benefits from generating public hostility he even benefits from things like creating destitution among asylum seekers and refugees in italy because then the public turns against people so it has to be dealt with in in a calm way however hard that may be because the continual crisis framing.
8:32 pm
propose the far right to increase power so if john if the e.u. is to move forward you have a set of issues to be tackled. how the dublin regulation you how the asylum system what do you think should be the starting point for the well clearly it's the common asylum system but it has to be linked to a different approach to africa and the middle east it has to be linked to rethinking current policies for example the e.u. trust fund for africa and the kind of programs that have gone before this because there have been they've been formed or designed in the europe's interest and the key interest is to stop migration but what's happening in africa and middle east and many other countries is we have a rising population there the larger percent of which is young people and they're leaving because they see no future in their own countries so what we need to do is
8:33 pm
we need to rethink european investment in africa. rethink our development programs and provide or help to provide african countries so that their youth have viable sustainable futures and their own country and in addition there needs to be eased some form of legal migration channels which has been promised by europe for many many decades which is not materialized. and the the greek and the italians have been saying that the burdens so to speak should be spread fairly among all the countries as a start up to the southern countries of the arrival points of the migration trend that should be sorting most of the burden how can that approach move forward now. when the good thing about the european union is that it's not a functional limited single issue organization.
