The European Union has not developed an effective system for registering incoming migrants and mechanisms for deporting illegal immigrants, the head of the Federal Migration Service, Konstantin Romodanovsky, said.
"Our analysis of the situation in the EU suggests that so far the European Union has been struggling to cope with the influx of migrants," he said in an interview to RT.
The minister pointed out that "the EU does not have a common position on this issue: some nations are quite liberal and say migrants are welcome there, while others, on the contrary, don’t want any migrants and are building walls on their borders".
According to him, one of the causes of the crisis was that the European Commission "left it up to individual nations to decide how they want to treat asylum seekers".
"The EU also does not have an effective system for registering incoming migrants or effective mechanisms for deporting illegal immigrants", TASS cited Romodanovsky as saying.
