Helping the helpless as the e. U. Finally found a solution to the migrant crisis its taken almost 5 years for some states to put together a raw deal how many of the others will also no sign up and what does it mean for tens of thousands of Asylum Seekers rescued at sea you cant move forward nor go back this is inside story. Hello and welcome to the program today with me peter dhabi october the marks 60 years since the lampedusa migrants tragedy that was when more than 300 people died as their overcrowded ship capsized off the italian coast this year and for the 6th in a row more than 1000 migrants and refugees have lost their lives in the mediterranean those who have survived to either been detained deported or theyre living in dire conditions European Countries receiving the influx of still debating how to tackle the crisis a draft deal was reached last month by germany france italy malta and finland on how to relocate people who have been rescued theyll try to get other e. U. Countries on board when they discuss the plan next week one prominent figure in the crisis has told e. U. Leaders their approach is quote shameful see what captain cut all over katie was arrested and fined for illegally entering an italian port with 53 rescued migrants after being trapped at sea for more than 2 weeks having to explain to the survivors who had rescued the country and peace did not want them but the europe the socalled nest of human rights and Civil Liberties did not consider worse to touch its land it was hard to be a european citizen and those states. It felt very shameful well almost 80000 people have risked their lives making the journey to europe so far this year most arrived in greece more than 40000 at the latest count but camps there are already overcrowded and thats being blamed for recent deaths about 20000 arrived in spain it is already struggling to accommodate thousands of migrants many are unaccompanied children with no work and nowhere to sleep the number of migrants arriving in italy rose in september the 1st increase since the start of 2018 despite hardline anti migrant policies italy has taken in more than 7000 people all 3 countries say they need a plan to redistribute the migrants. Here we go lets introduce our guests today in brussels on skype remoter a humanitarian Affairs Advisor on migration of Doctors Without Borders and also on skype from via a fellow at the Italian Institute for International Political studies welcome to you both remember in brussels coming to you 1st will this deal actually work and most of those been running such a risky activities in the mediterranean 3 years now and what weve seen that is a situation that has been created by a political chaos we do not believe that disembarkation should be linked to memory location and of the 1st priority for search and rescue should be saving lives at sea and thats what any deal any discussion especially rescue should be ok thanks for that material here in milan why is it so far into this crisis and its now been going on a long time are we still only talking about a draft deal well there is it is there was a new political commitment from the many countries before and there are not as conscious of are only europe and right now its still a tentative deal because in the end the commitment of money comes from germany hotly i would say and from france maybe a little less inwardly and other countries lean to join. And these needs to be brought to you and in the end this is not this is the draft because it is quite normal and original he would say its a tradition because its been discussed outside do you framework and now its been brought to the e. U. As a whole to be discussed this is it has a risk of not flying that much because the only consensus had censor ministerial arrivals to italy in munster and these are got arrivals to greece and spain thats right now the majority of the arrivals regularized to europe india i mean treatment why you describe it in the way you just have i mean it occurs to me correct if im wrong here its something of a work around i. E. The existing paneuropean legislation that comes to dealing with migrants last refugees is inherently flawed because it basically goes back to the aftermath of the 2nd world war. Yes right its not just that we have actually lets say a routine dui which is that probably a regulation that says that the or no sign of c. S. Coming from outside the e. U. Should be processed by the 1st country of arrival and thats not something say but mostly they should and so in dns of the countries the 1st arrivals faith the priests have always asked you countries to come in and join in this league parity and say ok we can take and relocate some of these and help you find we want it at least their requests to maybe take care of their retention of those who are not then indeed protected and then protect those who are trying to protection but whats been happening instead means that it has been some carriers and india and the only silly the idea is the lets say an automatic city that is from the fact that as a music is that arrive too easily greece and spain indian relocate themselves by do not a movements within the e. U. But not need to be saying yes this is a work around from a situation thats been there for years and its hard to to move in brussels if it doesnt work what kind of positive impact could it have on those countries whove been on the front line of this im thinking here specifically about greece the great governments as well of course and the greek islands. Look carefully as taylor pointed out the current discussions during include grace even though the number of arrivals to grace increased quite significantly and the discussions are only really focusing on the Central Mediterranean at the moment and it is to solve this problem of the standoffs see that have been happening for the past year which occur aided by this tension around going to a port of safety and and so we need to prioritize once again that when rescues are conducted at sea the 1st thing that we should be focusing on is making sure that they have a designated port of safety that should be the priority and if people can be processed on shore and then relocated but thats another discussion well come to that in just a 2nd im sure him well as weve been mentioning here on inside story greece is bearing most of the burden of migration across the mediterranean the new greek government has said it will take a tougher stance on the crisis it plans to deport 10000. 00 people to turkey by the end of next year and relocate hundreds of camps on the greek mainland material get into the nitty gritty of deportations in just a 2nd but historically looking back to when this crisis initially spiked what 4 and a half 5 years ago now why was it or who took the decision that it would always be done on a case by case basis not just a country by country basis but literally a boat by boat basis this is actually the boat. Was actually there when we speak italian to us has been dealt with. India. Theres been an agreement of sorts of the collaboration is the most talked about and these kind of the creation actually was the movement of 40 which implied that. The writers writing to greece would be returned and then this same amount at least not serious would be resettled to europes taken from turkey and then taken to the to europe so this never worked out india drew. Unli returned about 1500 people of the more did 1000000 persons who reached greece and more than 350000 persons who reached the spot at least the curation so didnt work so the group called and said ok we want to return 10000 people right right now it is going to be hard because again greece has only managed through 101500 people in 2 years and said to return 10000 persons to turkey are either deemed socalled safe countries its going to be very hard to trace and maybe we have to look into our tentative solutions for these persons who are now stuck in greek islands and ream you were talking there in your earlier answer about how theyre going to sort through people on board the boat at that point in this process those people are in a terrible state they havent eaten properly they havent had water properly they havent had a shower for days maybe weeks how do you do that when youre dealing with a boatload of people who dont have the right paperwork how do you decide where they go or where they go back to. Yes as material mentioned. In the grease and our people are contained on one of the 5 greek islands this containment policy has resulted in 30000 people currently being contained on the 5 great guyland and this is a cyclical process of overcrowding of really bad conditions of lack of hygiene and what we have seen and in these cases a complete and utter health and Mental Health crisis that is being created in the european policies based on 2 principles e. Tec he promises based on idea of containing people somewhere in the great guns to process them and then quickly returning them somewhere else this containment is is is completely causes a large amounts of how we see we seek children every day we have a Pediatric Clinic a Mental Health clinic and until that solution until this policy is addressed and revised were going to keep seeing the cycle of calm so we really as imitator said need to find alternative solutions and so its not just transferring people up the great guidelines to the great mainland but really addressing and the system in of itself the logic behind the deal ending the deal and potentially looking at options about relocating people to other european states this is not just a greece problem this is a euro problem. When rim talks about the circle of all im thinking here there was a point perhaps 18 months or 2 years ago when the relevant authorities sent teams on the ground to the greek islands that effort to then im not being overly critical but that effort then didnt work why should this new effort doing it in this way on the boats actually worth one of the pegs is actually you know the tent as always been has leasing capacity is in the. Externalized for institutions that do not allow people to get to the mainland at least in greece or maybe even process them before they get. There. At least legally in the unit seems to be feasible in order to time its very its almost impossible to process people on the boat its true that the current greek government has proposed this kind of solution even on processing the plane on wheels i dont think it really can be sustained dreamily and legally it would mean that you have to take purses and take them maybe 4 days maybe 4 weeks actually currently that you know the evolution process last 4 years so how can these be compressed in times of days for the people prisoners can be in a tent this is being in it is within that discourse of containment of these places here either in our own islands or on the mainland but in the end we really have to keep in mind that these besss i doesnt seek us out simply migrants their purses and they cannot be treasonous as you know as detainees in a sense or has said thats a danger for National Security as such so we really have to look into how to toughen these people on the men and how to find solutions in europe and maybe save britain but maybe lets have a look also at where we are going to be to and this poses you know the kind of sentences that for some countries in europe seems to be a safe country for
