Europe gives Turkey keys to its back door by signing deal

Guy Verhofstadt says the agreement between the European Union and Turkey to deal with the refugee crisis has reduced the flow of refugees, but at what price?

Europe’s refugee crisis is far from solved, but there are signs that the agreement finalised by the European Union and Turkey on March 18 is reducing the flow of refugees from Turkey to Greece.

According to Frontex, the European border-management agency, the 26,460 refugees detected crossing the EU’s external borders in the eastern Mediterranean in March amounted to less than half the figure recorded in February.
