Wallfire - Can you please supply links/evidence that support any of your assertions?
thanks,

I think Wallfire may be referring to this 2017 BBC article and ones like it. (Forgive me for answering on WF's behalf).

Quote:EU to sue Poland, Hungary and Czechs for refusing refugee quotas.

[Image: attachment.php?aid=5862]
Hungary erected border fences in 2015 to stop asylum seekers entering the country.

'The European Commission is to sue Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic at the European Court
of Justice (ECJ) for refusing to take in asylum seekers.

The commission, the EU's executive body, accused the three countries of "non-compliance with their legal
obligations on relocation". The Luxembourg-based ECJ could impose heavy fines.

A relocation plan was launched by the EU in 2015 in response to a large influx of migrants and refugees.
The move was an attempt to relieve pressure on Greece and Italy where the vast majority of migrants were
arriving.

However, the Czech Republic has accepted only 12 of the 2,000 asylum-seekers it had been designated,
while Hungary and Poland have received none. The commission launched infringement procedures against
the three states in June and warned them last month that further action was likely.

"The replies received were again found not satisfactory and three countries have given no indication that they
will contribute to the implementation of the relocation decision," a statement said.
"This is why, the commission has decided to move to the next stage of the infringement procedure and refer the
three member states to the court of justice of the EU."

Following Thursday's announcement, Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis told the BBC his country would continue
to oppose the relocation scheme. He said the quota system had fuelled anti-migrant sentiment and played into the
hands of the far right.

Poland's Deputy Foreign Minister Konrad Szymanski also said his government was "ready to defend its position in
the court".

In 2015 EU states agreed to relocate 160,000 asylum-seekers between them based on the size and wealth of each
country, however, Romania, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary voted against accepting mandatory quotas.
Separately, the commission is also taking Hungary to the ECJ over its laws on higher education and NGOs.

Hungary's right-wing government is looking to pass a higher education law that could close the Central European
University, founded by financier and philanthropist George Soros.
Mr Soros has a strained relationship with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.

The commission said Hungary's education law "disproportionally restricts EU and non-EU universities in their operations
and needs to be brought back in line with EU law". Hungary also caused controversy in June when it passed legislation
forcing non-governmental organisations to declare themselves "foreign-funded".

The commission said the laws "indirectly discriminate and disproportionately restrict donations from abroad to civil society
organisations"...'
