Such measures can be taken because of the refusal by these countries to accept refugees. On Wednesday, September 6, said the European Union Commissioner for Internal Affairs and Migration Demetris Avramopoulos.

Speaking today after the decision of the European Court to uphold the validity of the quotas for the acceptance of migrants, he confirmed that this could lead to fines for the above-mentioned states, since they refuse to accept asylum-seekers in the framework of the European Union resettlement program.

If these states do not change their attitude, we will be forced to move to the last step of the procedure for bringing to justice, we will submit to the European Court of Justice to Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic, "said the European Commissioner.

Recall, as reported by URA-Inform, the European Court on Wednesday, September 6, rejected a complaint filed by the governments of Slovakia and Hungary, which demanded invalidating the EU's decision to allocate quotas for refugees among EU member states.
