Commission President: Closing EU Borders Is Not Acceptable

Jean-Claude Juncker“It would be neither legally nor politically acceptable to work with third countries in order to close the border in one of our member states,” European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said.
Speaking to German newspaper Bild, the EC chief referred to proposals by certain EU member states that ask for the closing of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia border with Greece in order to stem migrant flow into northern Europe.
“We support border security on both sides – in Greece and FYROM. We will only succeed if we work more closely and collaboratively and not destroy trust between us. We should not be putting the Schengen agreement at risk, and hence our domestic freedom” said the former prime minister of Luxembourg.
Juncker said he believes that Europe is making progress in tackling the refugee crisis. He also praised German Chancellor Angela Merkel for her insistence on “farsighted” policies. He pointed out that history will prove that Merkel and her liberal policy on the refugee issue is correct.
