European Union heads of state met for an informal meeting on September 23, focusing on the Syrian refugee crisis with the goal of attaining asylum for refugees and\u00a0ending the war in Syria.\u00a0According to the Dublin regulation and Schengen acquis, the United Nations must provide a safe haven for the refugees, but\u00a0EU\u00a0states were tasked with providing\u00a0a better framework for shelter\u00a0while increasing their regional EU trust fund.<\/p>\n

German Chancellor Angela Merkel called for the summit\u00a0with Chancellor Werner Faymann of Austria. \u201cIt is the responsibility of the entire EU,” Merkel said. “Germany and Austria and Sweden cannot solve this problem on their own.”<\/p>\n

Merkel recently decided\u00a0to allow thousands of stranded refugees to enter\u00a0Germany from Hungary.\u00a0Anton Troianovski of the Washington Journal reports that \u201cmore than 90,000 estimated to have come to Germany so far in September alone.\u201d<\/p>\n

BBC News reports that “many migrants want to get asylum in Germany or Sweden, but those countries want their EU partners to show ‘solidarity’ and share the burden.\u201d<\/p>\n

The European Union has made advances in providing education to the over two million children fleeing conflict zones in the Middle East. \u201cThe needs are enormous. The EU has been at the forefront of the international response to the Syrian crisis, specifically in the education sector in partnership with UNICEF and host governments in the region,\u201d said Johannes Hahn, European Union Commissioner for European Neighbourhood Policy and Enlargement Negotiations, in a press release.<\/p>\n

The European Union has already provided almost two billion euros in humanitarian aid, in addition to financing from the United States and other countries. According to Philippe Fargues and Christine Fandrich of the Migration Policy Center,\u00a0\u201cSyrians showed the highest rate of increase in detections of illegal border-crossing, and they were increasingly detected as illegal stayers, in both cases these indicators were almost exclusively reported by Greece.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
