Europe has 6-8 weeks to handle refugee influx, Dutch PM says

PanARMENIAN.Net - Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said on Thursday, Jan 21, that Europe has just six to eight weeks to get a handle on the influx of refugees from conflict zones in the Middle East and elsewhere, Reuters reports.

"We have 6-8 weeks," Rutte told a panel on Europe at the World Economic Forum in Davos, adding that he believes the Schengen borderless travel zone in Europe could be saved but that first the bloc must agree on a mechanism to replace the failed Dublin system, which says that migrants must seek asylum in the first EU country they enter.
