    It will be interesting to watch this play out. Is this a clear message from the EU that EU members have relinquished their sovereignty?

    The European Commission launched a legal case on Tuesday against Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic for refusing to take in asylum seekers, ratcheting up a bitter feud within the 28-nation bloc about how to deal with migration.

    The eurosceptic, nationalist-minded governments in Poland and Hungary have refused to take in anyone under a plan agreed by a majority of EU leaders in 2015 to relocate migrants from frontline states Italy and Greece to help ease their burden.

    The Czech Republic, another ex-communist central European state, initially accepted 12 people but has since said it would not welcome more.

    "I regret to see that, despite our repeated calls to pledge to relocate, the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Poland have not yet taken the necessary action," the EU's migration commissioner, Dimitris Avramopoulos, told a news conference.

    He said the Commission was therefore launching so-called infringement procedures against the three, a way for the executive arm to take to task countries that fail to meet their obligations. It opens the way for months, even years, of legal wrangling before a top EU court could potentially impose fines.

    UK didn't like the idea of an eu army and used it's veto to stop it . Nothing preventing it now.

    Do you have Hungarian origin or Czech blood? It's about burden sharing. People who are claiming refugee status need to be placed until their status has been investigated and determined. Simple as that. Czech and Hungary want privileges then they need to also share the burden. Otherwise they probably should not have joined the EU. After all they are happy to open their greasy hands to receive handouts from Germany and France and Co right? It's really that simple.

    Because the UK and US were declared unreliable partners a short while ago. You of all should find appreciation in the fact that the EU wants to take care of its own defense and spending right?

    My comment was in regard to eu leaders telling their citizens to get used to terrorist attacks.

    I'm British origin.

    True some of those countries have done very well with free movement I don't know without researching what they've recieved.

    And the eu hasn't been transparent either with the citizens of member countries having their demographic structure forcibly changed and their resources being used to fund it.
