Facing the complex problem of refugees, the European Union must face various attitudes of the core country due to different perspectives and interests of each member state. Country with ability finances and the need for skilled labor and considerations humanity – after thousands died – like Germany, Sweden has an “open door” policy for refugees. Countries with limited resource and economic capabilities such as Czech, Hungarian, Slovak will implement a “closed door” policy. Other countries like UK, France although in terms of resources capable but due to security considerations and the attitude of community refusal (symptoms of “Islamphobia”) to implement policies “Gaining” (bargaining) accepts refugees but in limited numbers.
The European Union, as a supra-national institution, is not entirely capable resolve differences of opinion in core countries and make policies that adhered to by member states. In the name of humanity, EU pushes policy distribution of quotas for the acceptance of the number of refugees to 28 countries members and support “emergency”, medium-term and long term, local, regional and international; for example giving help finance to Greece and Italy as the main destination countries for refugees who crossed through the Mediterranean sea, strengthened the marine task force for rescued refugee ships, carried out various cooperative efforts with international agencies UNHCR and IOM, set up entry procedures for immigrants, planning integrated steps for admitted refugees and carry out international cooperation with Turkey to reduce and stemming immigrants to Europe.

Inter-institutional collaboration provides “umbrella” of joint action regulation while core state action is part of “follow-up” (follow-up) policies from the supranational level to the national/local.
