Dimitris Avramopoulos urged EU nations to open up their borders to more migrants despite the current chaos, which has seen millions of migrants force their way across Europe. Even though the crisis has pushed the Schengen free movement zone to breaking point and seen asylum applications rocket Brussels is devising plans to take in MORE people. And the shock plans could have a direct impact on Britain, which may end up being forced to take in its share of the new arrivals. Today, official recommendations from the EU Commission were revealed showing how bureaucrats want to bring skilled migrants through borders, whilst making member states take set amounts of people. According to the bombshell document the Dublin Regulation, which allows Britain to send refugees back to the country they first registered in, could also be scrapped. The report sent to the European Parliament today admits the migrant crisis which has engulfed the main bloc has exposed 'weaknesses' in the current Common European Asylum System. This has led to a 'disproportionate amount' of refugees arriving certain countries - and Europe wants that to change.

The document - know as a communication - shockingly points out that the EU wants to carve out more legal pathways for migrants to encourage them to come to Europe. It states: "European countries will continue to stand steadfast in meeting their legal and moral commitment to those who need protection from war and persecution. "And, as their own demographics evolve, they will need to take advantage of the opportunities and benefits of attracting foreign talents and skills. "Attracting innovative entrepreneurs to the EU would not only be part of the general approach to soften the impact of the demographic decline." Two options for the reform of the Dublin Regulation are being considered which could take the decision over migrant influx out of Britain's hands. The first would be adding a 'corrective fairness mechanism' to the current rules, meaning asylum seekers could be moved to other member states if a country has taken above and beyond the number they can reasonably house. The second option would mean migrants would be allocated using a 'distribution key' depending on the relative size, wealth and absorption capacities of the member states Under option two, most applicants would be directly allocated, on the basis of the distribution key, to another member state when they make an application anywhere in the EU. Another aim is to make the asylum process equal across EU countries so refugees go through the same process wherever they submit their application. The report states: "This would establish a single and centralised decision-making process, in first instance and in appeal, and would thereby ensure a complete harmonisation of the procedures as well as a consistent evaluation of the protection needs at EU level. "The distribution of asylum seekers among Member States based on a distribution key would in parallel ensure a fair sharing of responsibility for their care. "The experience of recent years has shown that, especially in situations of mass influx along specific migratory routes, the current system places responsibility, in law, for the vast majority of asylum seekers on a limited number of individual Member States, a situation which would stretch the capacities of any member state."

The commission also identified five 'shortcomings' in the current policy, including sharing out the number of migrants among member states. According to the report Brussels is aiming to ensure "a high degree of solidarity" and a fair sharing of asylum seekers. The plan to replace "current disparate arrangements" across Europe would mean limits would be set on the time a country has to deal with both asylum applications and any subsequent appeals. It also suggests 'harmonising' asylum policy right across states and creating a 'list of safe countries' which will determine who can and cannot seek asylum. There will also be a move to reduce 'secondary movement' across the EU after an asylum seeker has been granted right to remain in a member state. It is recommended sanctions are brought in for people who do not remain in the state which took them in. The report states: "The Common European Asylum System is also characterised by differing treatment of asylum seekers, including in terms of the length of asylum procedures or reception conditions across Member States, a situation which in turn encourages secondary movements. "At the same time, the EU must learn from the present crisis and start addressing its inherent weaknesses for the longer term. Actions are therefore needed to ensure a humane, fair and efficient system for the future."
