| EU says Austrian asylum-seeker cap unlawful |
| 2016-02-19 |
| [BASTROPENTERPRISE] The EU's top migration official says an Austrian plan to cap asylum-seeker numbers unlawful. Dimitris Avramopoulos said in a letter Thursday that "Austria has a legal obligation to accept any asylum application that is made on its territory or at its border." The letter to Austria's interior minister, seen by The Associated Press, said imposing a ceiling on asylum-seekers "would be plainly incompatible with Austria's obligations" under EU and international law. |

| #1 Given the EU violated the compact of its existence (if one refuses then the game was off was changed to having to redo failed referendums till you got the results the ruling class wanted), a little chicky talking 'unlawful'. |
