Hopes and hurdles for the European project
Paul Mason relies on tired old cliches – and, bizarrely, his dislike of the Belgian police – to justify his claim that there is no democratic control over the European Union (G2, 19 October). He talks of “vast bureaucratic structures” and “the sheer size of EU directorates”, yet the whole European commission has around the same number of employees as Leeds city council. He says there should be a veto on whether Ukraine and Turkey should join the EU, seemingly oblivious to the fact that there is one – all current member countries would have to agree for them to join. He moans of the EU being too powerful, yet simultaneously bemoans that it hasn’t reached agreement on Ukraine or on Syrian refugees. He claims that it has imposed austerity on Greece, but can’t be bothered to mention that Greece had half of its debts written off and no fewer than three large bailout loans from its eurozone partners. He claims real power sits with large corporations, but fails to see that the EU is the one way we have the clout to stand up to them. Most astonishingly of all, he says that individual citizens have only “two channels” to influence the EU: the British government and the European court. Has he never heard of the European parliament, directly elected by those very citizens? The existence of a directly elected parliament makes the EU unique among all international structures – but for Paul Mason this is not even worth a mention. Continue reading...

The Latest: Croatia: Balkans must work together on migrants
DOBOVA, Slovenia (AP) — The latest news as migrants make their way across Europe by the tens of thousands, fleeing war or seeking a better life. A massive influx of migrants has increased tensions in the Balkans, which saw years of war in 1990s. The German government is considering using military aircraft to deport rejected asylum applicants. Government spokesman Steffen Seibert said Wednesday that using civilian planes for deportations is the priority but if there isn't enough capacity authorities are mulling possibly using military planes. Hours later, the EU presidency further called for justice and interior ministers from all 28 member states to meet on Nov. 9 to better plan and execute Europe's response to the crisis. Greek emergency workers have joined a search for 15 people reported missing after a small boat carrying refugees sank in Turkish waters on its way to a Greek island. The Greek coast guard said two vessels and a helicopter on Wednesday were combing the sea northeast of the island of Samos for the missing migrants. Cyprus' interior ministry says a total of 114 people, including 28 children and 19 women, were aboard two fishing boats that landed at a British air base on the island's southern coast. British Bases authorities said Wednesday that a 2003 agreement holds the Cyprus government responsible for such arrivals on two military bases the island hosts. In recent months, hundreds of thousands of people fleeing war and poverty have been streaming through the western Balkans, which saw a series of wars in the 1990s. Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier told reporters in Berlin on Wednesday that "we have to make sure, first of all, that the movement of refugees doesn't carry new conflicts into a region where we have worked so hard in recent years to the calm the conflict situation after the dissolution of Yugoslavia." U.N. refugee agency officer Francesca Bonelli says around 3,000 migrants were there overnight, including little children, the elderly, people in wheelchairs and many sick and exhausted. Slovenian riot police deployed by the camp in full gear to manage the situation. Austrian police say main border crossings used by migrants to come into the country are quiet after a sudden influx of about 4,500 people on Tuesday. Slovenian lawmakers have approved a law formally granting more powers to the army in managing the migrant influx along the border of the small Alpine nation. Parliament voted 66-5 early on Wednesday to allow the troops to warn, direct and temporarily restrict the movement of persons or engage in crowd control, as police normally do. Slovenian army troops already have been deployed at the border providing logistical support to the police.

The Latest: Slovenia expands army role in handling migrants
DOBOVA, Slovenia (AP) — The latest news as migrants make their way across Europe by the tens of thousands, fleeing war or seeking a better life. All times local: 3:30 p.m. On top of Sunday's special migrant summit of several EU and Balkan leaders in Brussels, the European Union will also be organizing an extraordinary meeting of EU justice and interior ministers on Nov. 9. With cold autumn conditions closing in on the masses of migrants crossing the Balkans to get to the European Union and the EU struggling to deal with it, pressure has increased for effective action. Early Wednesday, EU Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker first called for leaders from EU member states Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Romania and Slovenia, as well as non-EU countries Macedonia and Serbia, to attend the migrant summit. Hours later, the EU presidency further called for justice and interior ministers from all 28 member states to meet on Nov. 9 to better plan and execute Europe's response to the crisis. ___ 2:40 p.m. Greek emergency workers have joined a search for 15 people reported missing after a small boat carrying refugees sank in Turkish waters on its way to a Greek island. The Greek coast guard said two vessels and a helicopter on Wednesday were combing the sea northeast of the island of Samos for the missing migrants. Turkish authorities, who picked up the survivors, were searching in their waters. Greece is the main entry point for those fleeing violence at home and seeking a better life in the European Union. More than 500,000 people have arrived so far this year on Greece's eastern islands, paying smugglers to ferry them across from nearby Turkey. The Greek coast guard said Wednesday it rescued 870 refugees over the past 24 hours. ___ 2:20 p.m. Police in southern Austria saw a rush of at least 1,000 asylum-seekers enter the country from Slovenia after they became tired of waiting at the two countries' border. The refugees, most of them men, entered Austria near the village of Spielfeld on Wednesday. Many continued walking north on a smaller road next to the A9 highway to Graz. Police spokesman Fritz Grundnig said the migrants were at a collection point for registration before being bused to shelters. He said police were blocking entry points to the A9 highway and accompanying the migrants on their march. Tens of thousands of people fleeing their homelands are on an epic trek through the Balkans to reach Western Europe. ___ 2:05 p.m. Cyprus' interior ministry says a total of 114 people, including 28 children and 19 women, were aboard two fishing boats that landed at a British air base on the island's southern coast. The ministry said fishermen initially spotted the two boats Wednesday morning. All 114 people are now at RAF Akrotiri, where they have been given medical care, food and clothing. British Bases authorities said Wednesday that a 2003 agreement holds the Cyprus government responsible for such arrivals on two military bases the island hosts. It also said this incident underlines the need for a comprehensive approach to Europe's migration crisis that would provide humanitarian assistance to Syria and neighboring countries, disrupt trafficking gangs and "address the root causes of instability." ___ 1:55 p.m. Germany's foreign minister has warned that new conflicts must not be allowed to emerge between the countries that formerly made up Yugoslavia because of disputes about the handling of Europe's immigration crisis. In recent months, hundreds of thousands of people fleeing war and poverty have been streaming through the western Balkans, which saw a series of wars in the 1990s. Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier told reporters in Berlin on Wednesday that "we have to make sure, first of all, that the movement of refugees doesn't carry new conflicts into a region where we have worked so hard in recent years to the calm the conflict situation after the dissolution of Yugoslavia." ___ 10:55 a.m. Hundreds of migrants have pushed their way into Croatia after spending the night out in the open in freezing cold, waiting to cross from Serbia into the European Union. Exhausted and chilled, migrants on Wednesday started walking down the muddy border passage and over the corn fields. Croatian police had deployed on the boundary to stop them but then moved away. U.N. refugee agency officer Francesca Bonelli says around 3,000 migrants were there overnight, including little children, the elderly, people in wheelchairs and many sick and exhausted. Migrants have lit fires and used blankets and tents to warm up. Bonelli says Croatian police were letting in smaller groups overnight, fueling migrants' fear they might get stuck. ___ 10:35 a.m. A fire has broken out at a camp for migrants in Slovenia, with plumes of smoke rising and firefighters rushing to put it out. It was not clear what caused the fire Wednesday at the camp in Brezice, on Slovenia's border with Croatia, which is housing thousands of migrants, including women and children. Migrants have been lighting fires to warm up in cold fall weather. Emergency teams were aiding the migrants amid thick smoke spreading through the camp. Slovenian riot police deployed by the camp in full gear to manage the situation. Ambulances also have arrived at the scene. Some refugee tents have burned. Firefighters are using vehicles with stairs lifted high up to spray the fire with water More than 20,000 migrants have entered Slovenia since Saturday when the refugee route toward Western Europe switched toward the Alpine nation. ___ 10:05 a.m. Dozens of migrants, including women and small children, have crossed a river in the cold of the night while crossing from Croatia to Slovenia on their journey toward Western Europe. More than 1,000 migrants were dropped at the border by train from Croatia early on Wednesday and directed to cross the frontier on foot. Threading through an unknown area, some groups of migrants found themselves by the Sutla river. With the temperatures below or around zero (32 Fahrenheit), migrants treaded through the river or swam over, carrying their children and personal belongings. Then they climbed up the muddy river banks to be escorted on by Slovenia's police. An Iraqi man who identified himself only as Cege says "the river is very cold, up to my head here, the water is very big, for that we decided to come here and water was here." He adds, "we need help, we need dress, we need food, now we are all wet." ___ 9:15 a.m. Austrian police say main border crossings used by migrants to come into the country are quiet after a sudden influx of about 4,500 people on Tuesday. Police say all of those fleeing war and hardship them came from Slovenia, with most of them using the Spielfeld crossing. Most were transported to shelters in various parts of Austria, with only 530 migrants present at that border reception station Wednesday. The other border reception area, at Bad Radkersburg, is empty. ___ 8:25 a.m. Slovenian lawmakers have approved a law formally granting more powers to the army in managing the migrant influx along the border of the small Alpine nation. Parliament voted 66-5 early on Wednesday to allow the troops to warn, direct and temporarily restrict the movement of persons or engage in crowd control, as police normally do. The law envisages that the new measures can put in force in an exceptional situation and for three months with the possibility to extend the period. Slovenian army troops already have been deployed at the border providing logistical support to the police. Migrants have turned to Slovenia in their bid to reach Western Europe after Hungary closed its borders to the flow on Saturday. ___ 8:15 a.m. An official in Cyprus says two boats with approximately 140 people onboard have landed on the shores of a British air base on the island's southern coastline. British Bases spokesman Kristian Gray told The Associated Press that the two boats came ashore at RAF Akrotiri at daybreak on Wednesday. He said there are children among the passengers, but authorities haven't established where the boats came from. Gray said there's no information about the passengers' health. Cyprus' eastern tip is less than 100 miles (160 kms) from Syria's coastline. The island hosts two bases on its southern coast which are considered sovereign British territory. In the last two months, Cypriot authorities rescued 128 Syrian refugees aboard two boats in separate incidents. Join the conversation about this story »

Refugee crisis: Syrians rescued at British base on Cyprus – live updates
* Four boats carrying 114 refugees arrive at RAF Akrotiri * The group of Syrians included 28 children * Cyprus coastguard: refugees abandoned by Turkish smugglers * EU calls for another summit on the migration crisis 2.31pm BST A search and rescue operation now underway off the Aegean island of Samos after a boat believed to be carrying 31 refugees sank earlier today, writes HELENA SMITH. The Greek coastguard, which has dispatched two ships to the scene, says 16 people were rescued when the boat capsized in rough waters near the island. Officials with the European border agency, Frontex, and a Greek military naval ship have also joined the search north east of the island for the 15 others who still are missing. 2.28pm BST AP has video of that fire at a migrant camp in the Slovenian village of Brezice near the border with Croatia. The camp’s residents were evacuated by police, who say the blaze started when people set fire to blankets in protest at being kept at the camp for more than 24 hours rather than being allowed to continue their journeys to western Europe.
