EU "risks losing decency" in migrant crisis

Gabriel said it was "problematic that some EU countries only actively joined in the project when they had money to gain, and did not take an active part in the community during difficult times."

German Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Monday that if EU members were not able to agree to a fair distribution of refugees, the Schengen zone of passport-free travel would be called into question, Reuters said.

Gabriel said that "such an outcome would be a terrible blow for the EU". He told the Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung:

"To give up open borders would be a gigantic step backwards in European history. With Greece, there is the risk of losing money. But now Europe is at risk of losing its decency."
