EU Commissioner Margaritis Schoinas said in an interview with an Austrian newspaper that the events in Afghanistan could be the catalyst for a common immigration policy in the European Union.

"It is true that we are now in a major crisis, but the EU has not caused this situation, yet we are once again called upon to be part of a solution."

He noted that he wants "to avoid a reflection that will take us back to the crisis of 2015 before it even becomes clear how the situation will develop."

"That is why I think now is the time to agree on a common European policy on immigration and asylum, as we proposed to the EU Commission in September," he added.
