N. Mitarakis: The most critical thing is to provide tangible support to the displaced Ukrainians

The Greek Minister of Immigration and Asylum, Notis Mitarakis, coming to the EU Home Affairs Council in Brussels, stated that “we expect progress in the much-needed Immigration and Asylum Package, but these are not important issues today”, stressing that “the “It is now crucial that we provide tangible support to the displaced Ukrainians, who have been forced to flee the country due to the Russian invasion.”

In particular, Mr Mitarakis said: “Many important issues are on the agenda today. We welcome President Macron’s proposal to set up a strong Schengen Council to provide leadership in the common area.

At the same time, we all expect progress on the much-needed Immigration and Asylum Package, but these are not the important issues today. The most crucial thing is to provide tangible support to the displaced Ukrainians, who were forced to leave the country due to the Russian invasion.

“From a specific Commission proposal, we must take specific decisions today to activate the legal tools to provide safe haven for Ukrainians.”
