The CSU general secretary Markus Blume wants to reject migrants at border without an agreement with European neighbouring countries. "Italy must know: if re is no agreement on withdrawal of asylum seekers for whom Italy is responsible, we will reject German-Austrian border," said Blume of Süddeutsche Zeitung.

Germany must not make its actions dependent on European neighbours. It is always better to go to cooperative than confrontational way, "but Germany must not be dumb if ors refuse to cooperate," he told Süddeutsche Zeitung. Flower also defended CSU's way of putting more emphasis on national measures. "We are all for multilateral solutions in spirit of common Europe," he said. It is, however, "naïve to believe" that we can only get on with good speech in Europe.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Interior Minister Horst Seehofer had agreed in asylum dispute that asylum seekers already registered elsewhere should be rejected only after consultation with European partners. In addition, transit centres are to be established in border area, from which asylum seekers can be rejected directly in competent countries. In order to implement measures, federal government still has to conclude agreements with or EU countries; At EU summit, Merkel has already agreed retraction agreements with Spain and Greece.

The SPD considers establishment of transit centres to be critical. "There will be no closed camps with us," said party chief Andrea Nahles in Bundestag's budget debate. There is no mention of that in coalition agreement. Since signing of case, no new situation has arisen. "Those who have furr proposals must present m, justify m and vote with coalition partner," said Nahles. We are now at beginning of such a voting process.
