The legislation allows the army to take part in border controls, to restrict personal liberties and to use weapons as long as no loss of life ensues.
It follows new laws earlier this month making illegal border-crossing a crime punishable by jail.
European leaders will seek to find a credible response to the continent's worst migration crisis since World War II at an emergency summit this week.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel called on her peers yesterday to accept joint responsibility.
"Germany is willing to help. But it is not just a German challenge, but one for all of Europe," Ms Merkel told a gathering of trade unionists.
"Europe must act together and take on responsibility. Germany can't shoulder this task alone."
Striking a more sceptical tone on migration than in previous weeks, Ms Merkel also warned that Germany could not shelter those who were moving for economic reasons rather than to flee war or persecution......http://www.rte.ie/news/2015/0921/729210-migration/

EU to hold talks as Hungary gives army anti-migrant powers...
ReplyDeleteEU interior ministers will hold an emergency meeting Tuesday in hopes of bridging a deep rift over Europe's worst migrant crisis since World War II, a day after Hungary gave its army drastic new powers to protect its borders.
Tuesday's meeting will see ministers discuss controversial binding quotas to relocate 120,000 refugees around the bloc from frontline states after they failed to reach a deal last week, and ahead of a bloc-wide emergency summit opening Wednesday.
On the eve of the meetings, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon appealed to leaders across the 28-nation bloc, urging them to "show leadership and compassion" as the continent grapples with the wave of migrants, many of them refugees fleeing the conflict in Syria.
