German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt said the Iran war has so far not led to increased migration to Europe.<\/p>\n
“We are not currently seeing increased migration pressure,” Dobrindt told the Rheinische Post newspaper in an interview published on Saturday.<\/p>\n
He said authorities were keeping a close eye on migration movements in countries such as Iran and Lebanon.<\/p>\n
“At present, we are seeing high levels of internal migration in both countries, but we are not yet detecting pressure on the Turkish border. That would be the first indicator of a further migration movement towards Europe,” Dobrindt said.<\/p>\n
He added that precautionary measures were nevertheless being prepared at the European level.<\/p>\n
Dobrindt also left open the possibility of extending internal border controls beyond September.<\/p>\n
“The question of extending border controls does not depend exclusively on the situation in Germany,” the minister said.<\/p>\n
A reform of the Common European Asylum System (CEAS) is due to take effect across Europe on June 12.<\/p>\n
“CEAS must be functional, and the international situation and its possible effects also play a major role,” Dobrindt said.<\/p>\n
Dobrindt said the coming weeks would show how the situation develops, especially in the Middle East, and what migration movements may follow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt said the Iran war has so far not led to increased migration to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5537,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[406,151,5609,5,5608,1333,4853],"class_list":{"0":"post-5536","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-germany","8":"tag-alexander-dobrindt","9":"tag-europe","10":"tag-german-interior-minister","11":"tag-germany","12":"tag-internal-migration","13":"tag-iran-war","14":"tag-unity-hub-berlin"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5536","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5536"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5536\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5537"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5536"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5536"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5536"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
