Austria to Spend $740Mln on Refugees in 2016 - Finance Minister
Austria expects refugees to cost the country almost 1 billion euro ($740 million) in 2016, with each refugee to cost Austrian taxpayers 10,724 euro per year, Finance Minister Hans Joerg Schelling said Wednesday.
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The minister presented a 2016 budget plan based on a projection of 85,000 asylum seekers arriving in Austria over the year, the country's Heute daily reported.

Europe is currently facing an enormous migration crisis as hundreds of thousands of refugees fleeing violence and poverty in the Middle East and North Africa seek refuge in the bloc.
Last week, Austrian Chancellor Werner Faymann said the country would support Greece's efforts to upgrade the registration centers for refugees arriving in Europe.
According to the Austrian authorities, migrants that are first registered in such centers should be properly distributed throughout the EU countries, while those who are not eligible to receive asylum should be sent back to their home countries.
