EU 'must share burden of asylum'

[scarface]

European Justice Commissioner Franco Frattini has criticised EU member states for not sharing the burden of handling refugees.

More than 180,000 people sought asylum in the EU in 2006, including a steady flow of African migrants crossing to the EU's southern border.

Mr Frattini said not enough help was being given to countries on the EU's frontline, such as Spain and Malta.

He also urged members to honour pledges to give boats to the EU border agency.

So first he spits venom in our direction and now he is trying to amend things. Someone must have pulled this little piggie's ears.

Yea that's what I tought. He was critisizing us about what happened between Malta and France, but at least now he realized that we really do need help. Hopefully they will give a damn...

Yes, and on the other side of the atlantic ocean is Mexico and all of the Southern American continent...

Just 200 a year?? I never looked at numbers but with the fuss they put up on it I'd have thought they'd be 200,000! a month!!
