TEHRAN, June 26 - German Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Tuesday that an EU-wide solution for the migration issue would not be reached at a summit of the bloc's leaders later this week and added that she would continue to pursue bilateral agreements.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - "There will be no solution for the whole asylum package i.e. for all seven directives, by Friday," Merkel told a news conference with the visiting Spanish prime minister, adding that more time was needed to work on two directives.
"For this reason I spoke about working with countries that are willing on all dimensions of the migration policy - the Spanish prime minister spoke about the external dimension and I spoke about the internal dimension and in this spirit we will have further talks in the coming days," Merkel added.
