Anna Terrón Cusí explains the need for an EU-level system for assessing and distributing asylum seekers. Duration: 1:37
Cameron Thibos: What are the main political challenges to dealing with the migration challenge productively?
Anna Terrón Cusí: To draw on what I was saying this morning in the plenary session, this is a European crisis. It is not a refugee crisis. It is not the first time we have witnessed a situation like this. We saw this in the Balkans, 20 years ago. So, I would say, in order to tackle this situation – which, again, I don’t call a refugee crisis – we need a common approach at the EU level. We need resources, and we need to engage everybody in providing the solution: form society, from cities, from governments.
