hundred and twenty thousand refugees fleeing war in the middle east so far less than a third have been granted asylum. today's ruling means that hungary. face hefty fines if it can. to refuse accepting refugees also viva. nmo green my goodness. re i'm slovak will. so items. within the borders. the european court of justice on wednesday rejected that claim that the blog entry asylum quarters on the mind that national sovereignty. violence or courts dismisses the actions brought by slovak here in hungary against the provisional mechanism for the mandatory revocation of asylum seekers. that mechanism actually contributes to enabling greece and italy. to deal with the impact of the twenty fifteen migration crisis. and is proportionate. indeed mediterranean countries what bearing the brunt of migrants rifles. the quota system was adopted as a way to show the load
2:37 pm
throughout the year. but the relocation scheme was immediately rejected by several central european states. especially in a hungry work despite the low turnout a referendum soul ninety eight percent of voters saying no more migrants. hungary's foreign minister has called the final ruling appalling and irresponsible. this decision jeopardizes the security and future of all of europe. politics has raped european law and values. and while slovakia says it will respectct the court's decision it has no intentitn of changing its migration policy. some western european countries are cooling on brussels to cut funding from the two reluctant states if they don't comply with the court. however that there's a chance that too heavy a punishment might only stoked anti you sentiment further dividing but already fractured europe. ralph lauren that i'm joined here in the studio by a
2:38 pm
reasonable a cutesy she's a lawyer. and an independent researcher for migration thanks to go with that sat here from twenty four tonight now and hungary's augments am a stats by accepting this relatively small number refugees they will simply encourage. more people to try and make the crossing to europe that we so they scenes in twenty fourteen twenty fifteen people. ten thousand people a day sometimes walking through hungary they don't want that to happen anymore and they think it's unfair. that the eu is imposing this on them. yes i am i think that to you it's it's an interesting a statement. it because i think what we have seen in the last few years is that time actually there hasn't been a repeat of those numbers that we saw in two thousand and fifteen. and since the e. u.'s hokey deal there has been a change in the numbers arriving but what we are seeing. is that the frontline countries such as greece and easily i dealing with a very high number of migrants and asylum seekers are stranded in the countries now. and and it's those individuals
2:39 pm
that need to be. are let's say relocated to that the burden can be shared amongst the various eu countries but in terms of acting as a pull factor for more to becoming. there's no evidence to suggest that actually at the moment at this plan aids failing at a hundred and twenty thousand refugees were supposed to have been resettled at by this month. and. less than forty thousand have at already. what is the use policy long term because this is simply not working is it? yes i'm the citadel is a worthy use policies on the long term but i think that television like it to be. i think the timing i think theme the issue here is not so much the eu policy but more the question of solidarity amongst the various eu nations and i think. it's really the migration question is becoming a key question for the e. u. and and sting its ability to. as as a regional block. that works to that has a number nations working together so i think that is more the key question here because while countries like hungary and and. poland at are. making
2:40 pm
statements such as the migrants that want to come to our country anyway so why should we accept them the reality is that most of them don't want to be in italy and greece eva. so really is a question for the entire blocks and look at it is really a matter of i'm needing to work together to find solutions. so i think that the issue is not so much the usability to michael's on on this but rather the question of solidarity amongst the various eu countries. why do you think there is such a position to at accepting these refugees is it because said they're from another culture another religion and hungary and slovakia pilot these are countries with strong and? christian populations that's not a problem at. all i think that's the way it's being framed and i think that's. them migrations become such a politicized issue of the last few years that i think a lot of countries are making decisions based on what is more popular. and elections around and what is actually the most effective solution for the. issue at hand and so definitely look these countries it's framed as in
2:41 pm
as the issue of. different. religions different cultures a difficulty integrates seeing but i think it's it's really just the politicize ation of the issue and it it says. it's about numbers as well as it because we have seen it get really large numbers of people arriving in. a pretty short time space it's twenty fourteen and. point seven million people trying to make their homes in europe i mean those. kind of numbers are not sustainable on the ninth but if we look at the numbers more carefully paints a different picture so if we look at for example. two thousand and fourteen we ha. well that's it for this way in two thousand and fifteen eight around one million of that one point seven million arrived in two thousand and fifteen alone. so when we look at two thousand sixteen for example we had a hundred eighty thousand individuals arriving it's silly and we had about a hundred seventy thousand individuals arriving grease. and around four thousand arrived in spaino actuallyy inn twowo thousand sixteen the numbers were closer to three hundred fifty thousand. so often that figure is
2:42 pm
quoted to create a sense of alarm but actually it was that one year of two thousand fifteen we sell the beacon numbers arrive and the reason why that's changed now. is because of the u. taking deal has has affected the numbers of arrivals because that is setting a lot of people off from trying to make the journey yet. i. more parents the and the argument that it is said that the war is serious it's hopefully temporary and it it will be over of one of these days and. that it would be better if the people who do want to stay in in the hive. syria also. it would be better for them to stay in refugee camps around this country what what do you think of that argument used by the british for example. i think so too we look at the syrian crisis in the first use of the syrian crisis between say two thousand eleven in two thousand fourteen. the bird the majority of syrians world living in neighboring country syria and we didn't see syrians arriving in europe for this reason precisely. because they were waiting for the crisis to ends they could return home because i
2:43 pm
didn't want to leave their homes but the reason why we size the syrians moving to europe in two thousand fourteen onwards. was because they realize that there was no end in sight and the war has continued and even if the war was to end tomorrow. most of the homes are destroyed and is nothing to go back to and this is the reality today for syria that even if the war ends tomorrow what a serious going to return to actually brought ares advocacy thank you. very much indeed for talking to us well joining me now on the line i is as all time cold facts. a spokesman for the hunger in government thank you very much sir for being with us tonight. at this moment and it missed albany he's tried to stand up to the european union bu. he lost today didn't he the eu will not pay for the apple defense and you will have to accept. your fair share of refugees and this is a fight about it is that. well go to decor decision had nothing to do about. and share it with the protection and. european s solidarity shown to hungary. never they i
