Shipping Minister Dritsas: Time is not mature for review of Dublin RegulationAlternate Shipping Minister Theodoros Dritsas speaks of an irresponsible exploitation of the refugee and migration problem in an interview with ANA-MPA on Wednesday.Dritsas added that the problem does not accrue from the "government's allegedly policy of open frontiers". He also noted that according to the ministry's data the migration flows in the Aegean increased by 285 percent in 2014 in comparison with 2013 and underlined that it is not a national but a European problem and it should be examined on European level. Asked on Dublin Regulation, he said that he believes that the time is not mature for its immediate review. What is mature is the need for additional measures and new supplementary policies for the common confrontation of the problem. The full audio interview is available for subscribers at the ANA-MPA website.
