Introduction
In the year 2015, there have been refugees and migrants who have been coming into
Europe from various continents like Middle East, South Asia and Africa and this has created a
challenge for the European policymakers due to the creation of debt crisis. Europe has been
named as the most unsafe location as there have been irregular migrations from the rest of the
world.
It has been observed that a big fault line have been opened up through the European
Union (EU) in both north south region and east west region due to the crisis of migration. The
risks that may interrupt the financial and social structure of the European Union are elaborated in
this report and also the techniques that can be incorporated in order to resolve the risks are even
illustrated here.
Since, 2015 the tension have been escalating among Greece and some of the partners of
European Union. They have also accused Athens to deliberately wave through the migrant who
might be registered as soon they entered to the European Union. On the other hand, the row of
Australia also got extremely bad in the month of February (Greenhill, 2016). In the year of 2015
over 120,000 migrants have arrived in Greece and 130,000 Mediterranean has reached to
European Union. In the same year, over 400 migrants have drowned in the Aegean Sea. The
rising conflict in Syria is continuously growing. The international organization of Migration has
estimated that, around 1011800 migrants have arrived in the years of 2015 (Nugent, 2017).
The risks associated to migration crisis are elaborated in this paper.

1. Identification of involved parties/ interested groups and points of views
The political instability that has been observed in South Asia, Middle East and Africa has
led to the rise in migrations in Europe. The issue started from the year 2011 when number of
Tunisians started coming to Lampedusa an island situated in Italy. The most current detection of
migration has been the Syrians and Eritrean refugees and migrants who have been coming into
Europe because of the political unrest in their countries.
It has been estimated that about 464,000 migrants have come to Europe though sea within
the initial nine months in the year 2015. The highest percentage of refugees has been from Syria
comprising of 39% because of their four- year old civil war. Due to the Taliban rebels 11% of
the refugees have come from Afghanistan. 7% of the refugees have been from Eritrean migrating
because of forced labor in the country and in this manner the amount of refugees in Europe has
increased.
Many countries are there involved to the European Union migrant crisis and the involved
parties include Greece, Turkey, Hungary, Macedonia, Italy, Germany, Austria, France etc
(Moraga & Rapoport, 2015). In order to show solidarity as well as burden sharing because there
