BRUSSELS, June 9 — Greece’s minister for migration and asylum today defended his country’s use of “sound cannons” to deter irregular migrants, as a senior EU official called their use “strange” and legally questionable.
Johansson gave voice to those concerns, declaring alongside Mitarachi that she found the use of the cannon “strange”. Both she and Mitarachi said that issue was not raised in a “frank discussion” that examined the migration situation in Greece, which is on the frontline for irregular arrivals and hosts about 10,000 asylum-seekers in camps set up on islands facing Turkey.
“The critical question is, everything we do needs to be effective, and in line with EU regulations,” he said.
