Quote:
Greece has appealed to the EU to support its plans to reduce the population of overcrowded migrant camps on the Aegean islands.
The plea follows an EU announcement on Thursday that member states should be allowed to send some asylum seekers back to Greece from March 2017.
Under EU rules, the first country of entry usually handles an asylum seeker's claim.
But that system collapsed in 2015 when Greece was overwhelmed by new arrivals.
Most of the more than one million people who entered Europe last year did so through Greece, travelling from Turkey.

I wonder how robust the asylum process will be? What incentive does Greece have not to just rubber stamp virtually every application and let these people head off to where they want to go - anywhere but Greece where they system is overwhelmed?
