Abstract

At the beginning of 2015, the developed European states faced successive waves of refugees (over 100,000 people in the first months of the year), most of them being from Syria and Iraq - countries torn apart by conflicts and internal violence. Unlike the immigrants that leave to seek work, the refugees are forced to leave their own country and benefit by social assistance, offered by the host country. Some states members of the European Community dealt with the intense pressure of the waves of refugees, especially Germany, Italy and Sweden, a fact that led to a crisis in the process of absorption of the immigrants. The EU leaders proposed, as a general solution, the distribution of the refugees according to shares, in each member state of the community space. Other countries, as Hungary, Austria and Romania, advanced the idea of increased security of the national borders, and the stopping of the waves of refugees. The third solution was proposed by Australia, which supported the ceasing of violence and military actions, in the countries that permanently supply the fluxes of refugees.
