Enormous risks if EU doesn’t co-operate with Turkey on refugee crisis – McGuinness

The European Parliament has this morning
been debating the recent EU-Turkey Summit in tackling the refugee crisis. The
United Nations has expressed concerns over the so-called “one in one out”
proposal outlined at this week’s summit.  The plan
envisages
resettling a Syrian from Turkey to EU countries for every Syrian readmitted by
Turkey from the Greek Islands.
The Fine Gael MEP
Mairead McGuinness says that despite concerns over cooperating with Turkey, the
results of non-cooperation would be worse.

Out words: are enormous
