Austria's daily cap on the amount of migrants and refugees allowed into the country has come into force.
Just eighty asylum applications are going to be accepted every day at Austria's southern border, after that it'll shut.
The European migration commissioner has represented the measure as "plainly incompatible" with european union law.
EU leaders have announced they're going to hold a summit in early March with Turkey to attempt to seek fresh solutions to the crisis.
"The EU-Turkey action arrange is our priority," European Council President Donald Tusk said at an EU gathering in Bruxelles.
There are considerations that the new daily limits on asylum seekers here at Austria's southern border can cause backlogs of migrants in Slovenia.
But police here have told me they will shut the border if over eighty individuals claim asylum here in a day, or if over 3,200 wish to transit through to neighbouring countries.
However, they also say that since the establishment of the new border management centre at Spielfeld, those numbers haven't nonetheless been reached.
Austria's leaders worry that is just a matter of your time, unless an EU-wide resolution may be united. many locals, involved concerning the increasing range of latest arrivals, agree.
Others say wealthy Austria is more than able to deal with the refugees. and that they are concerned that the hard-won freedom of movement between Austria and Slovenia is being eroded.
Vienna says the daily limit is required as a result of the EU plan for Turkey to limit the quantity of migrants leaving for Europe is not yet working.
