Hopes for a common asylum system or uniform mechanism for dealing with new arrivals, as well as the sharing of responsibility across member states, have all come into question. But the final decision is not with the commissioners - the competence is with national governments. They have the power to create regular channels. EU member states have also started re-interpreting their obligations in response to record migration flows. Once an asylum seeker is processed in that country, they cannot seek asylum elsewhere.

From the album

If an asylum seeker tries to then claim elsewhere, after fingerprinting, they may be returned to the first country of arrival. At the same time, some countries themselves avoid fingerprinting, supposedly to pass the buck to other member states. Italy is often named as a country that does this. The future for Aly, a year-old plumber from Homs, as well as his wife and three children, is far from certain because he was coerced into providing prints at his first point of arrival after crossing from Morocco to Melilla, one of two Spanish-controlled enclaves on the North African coast, and on to Spain.

Other refugees in the same facility interviewed by MEE recounted how they had passed through Italy without being fingerprinted. From state to state, mainland European migration policy can look promising, confusing or just immeasurably complex. But from a port-o-cabin in a reception centre in the Cypriot countryside, Aly Mohamed, another Palestinian Syrian in Kofinou, says it just looks like an illusion. He sees his experiences in Kofinou as far from the ideal he faced death for. View the discussion thread.

Thank goodness for knitting, that is all I have to say. Our belongings were delivered out of storage last week - YAY! However, to make a long story short, our landlord said he would remove all of Ms.

Thelma's furniture and things but then after our belongings were already on their way to us he changed his mind. The house was already a cluttered mess from all of her things and now we have our things on top of that. It hasn't been easy.

I wake up with a tight feeling in my chest as anxiety takes over. Clutter is my kryptonite, friends. I started this birthday present knit for Baby F to help calm my nerves. Now I just need to make time to work on it. In less stressful news, have you guys comes across these Secret of the Hidden Scrolls books?
