Szydło: The EC's proposal is very failure

01:26

On April 8, Polish and Czech Prime Ministers (Beata Szydło and Bohuslav Sobotka) hold a joint press conference in Warsaw. During it, Polish Prime Minister called the European Commission's proposal for a new asylum policy as a "very failure". "We want to be creators of a positive policy in solving the refugee crisis in Europe, but we clearly claim we will not give our consent to the change of relocation rules," Beata Szydło commented the EC's proposal. "We believe that the EU does not need to implement a permanent system of relocation of refugees on the basis of quotas," supported Bohuslav Sobotka. On April 6, the European Commission presented two variants of the EU's asylum policy reform. The first involves the implementation of the "correction mechanism" (the asylum application would correspond to a country in which a refugee crosses the EU border, but in case of a large influx of migrants it would be possible to relocate refugees to other countries).The second involves the relocation of refugees according to a fixed distribution key. Politicians have been also discussing Poland-Czech Republic relations, the Visegrad Group, and 2016 Warsaw NATO summit.
