The European Commission (EC) will impose sanctions even against those airlines who transport migrants to the border of Belarus and Poland unintentionally, not knowing that illegals are on board. This was stated by the European Commissioner Margaritis Schinas, the quote leads Reuters.
He added that today the EC approved the introduction of a new sanction mechanism, which should stop the uncontrolled transportation of migrants to the eastern borders of Europe. “The European Commission also proposed to introduce measures aimed against companies that are engaged in transporting people to the European Union. And no matter, they know about it or not,” said Skhinas.
In addition, the head of the European Commission Ursula von der Lyien offered to create a black list for carriers of illegal immigrants. She is sure: the Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko deliberately provokes aggravation of the crisis. “Thereby, the EU is experiencing on strength. This is not a migration crisis. This is an attempt by authoritarian regime to destabilize its democratic neighbors,” the head of the EK said.
The migration crisis on the border of the Belarusian and the European Union began at the end of May. Large groups of illegal migrants from Africa and the Middle East began to storm the borders of Lithuania, Poland and Latvia in the hope of getting refuge. It was alleged that Minsk uses his national tour operator “Centerkurort” for migrant moving to the EU borders and earns on it.
