Refugee Crisis: Greek President Invites European Council President to Greece

Prokopis PavlopoulosThe President of the Hellenic Republic Prokopis Pavlopoulos invited European Council President Donald Tusk to Greece to discuss Europe’s refugee crisis on Tuesday, September 8th.
Tusk had said that the inflow of migrants and refugees to Europe could go on for years.
European Commission spokesperson Alexander Winterstein claimed, on Tuesday that Greece has yet to make a request to the European Union to activate the Civil Protection Mechanism with respect to the refugee crisis.
The Civil Protection Mechanism was established to foster cooperation among national civil protection authorities across Europe.”The Mechanism was set up to enable coordinated assistance from the participating states to victims of natural and man-made disasters in Europe and elsewhere” (European Commission).
Winterstein added that the commission is also awaiting for Greek authorities to establish the agency that will manage the funds given to Greece by Europe to deal with the refugee crisis. Greece has also yet to present a completed plan of a new migrant and refugee registration centre at the port of Piraeus, that will work with the help of other European agencies.
