EU to give Greece May deadline to register migrants: Avramopoulos
Europe will set Greece a deadline of May 12 to register all migrants in an orderly fashion or face more border controls, Migration Commissioner Dimitris Avramopoulos told a German newspaper on Friday. Greece has been the main gateway for nearly a million migrants who have crossed the Aegean Sea from Turkey over the past year on their way to wealthier northern Europe. "Greece will have until May to protect its external borders," Avramopoulos, a former Greek government minister, told Die Welt newspaper.
