Austria won't take in any of the
450 migrants that landed in Sicily earlier this week, Chancellor
Sebastian Kurz told Premier Giuseppe Conte Tuesday according to
the APA news agency.
"Austria has since 2015 accepted over 150,000 asylum requests
and, in relation to the size of its population, has sustained
one of the biggest contributions to the EU's migrant policy," he
said.
"Many other countries have accepted very few".
Austria, therefore, will not "take part in a further
redistribution", Kurz said.
France, Malta, Germany, Spain and Portugal have said they
will take of the Pozzallo 50 migrants each while Ireland has
said it will take 20.
