奥地利内政部长米克尔-莱特纳说,奥地利将沿与斯洛文尼亚的边界设立围栏,减缓涌入奥地利的移民潮。

米克尔-莱特纳星期三做出上述宣布。她说,设立围栏是为了确保人们有控制、有秩序地进入奥地利,而不是为了将移民阻挡在国门之外。

米克尔-莱特纳在边境对记者发表谈话的时候使用了“技术屏障”的说法来形容计划中的设施。她没有提出设立围栏的时间表或预算。

欧盟委员会主席容克星期二批评欧盟成员国没有迅速采取行动提供资金和专家来协助应对欧洲自第二次世界大战以来的最严重移民危机。

容克说:“欧盟成员国在需要奔跑的时候却慢慢腾腾。”

在向斯特拉斯堡的欧洲议会提交的一份报告中,他强调需要更多的资金和专家。

联合国难民事务高级专员报告说,今年已经有70万人为躲避战乱和贫困而从中东、非洲和亚洲抵达欧洲。

Austrian Interior Minister Johanna Mikl-Leitner says Austria will build a fence along its border with Slovenia to slow the tide of migrants crossing into the country.

Mikl-Leitner made the announcement Wednesday, saying the fence will be meant to ensure controlled, orderly entry into Austria, not to keep migrants out altogether.

Speaking to reporters on the border, Mikl-Leitner used the term "technical barriers" to describe the planned construction. She did not present a time frame or budget for the plan.

Tuesday, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker criticized member nations for not acting expeditiously to provide funds and experts to help in managing Europe's worst migration crisis since World War Two.

Juncker said "the member states have been moving slowly at a time when they should be running."

He stressed the need for more funds and experts in a report to the European Parliament in Strasbourg.

The U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees reports that more than 700,000 people have arrived in Europe this year, fleeing war and poverty in the Middle East, Africa and Asia.
