Austria must start taking in
asylum seekers relocated from Italy and Greece, European
Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said Wednesday, saying
that Vienna was not fulfilling its EU obligations. "The
Commission is ready to discuss how to assist the Austrian
authorities, so that they gradually fulfill their obligations,"
Juncker said. "Naturally we will take into account the
solidarity which Austria showed in the past". Austrian Interior
Minister Wolfgang Sobotka said he would comply "immediately" but
other Austrian officials stressed the process could be gradual
as Juncker had said.
