The European Union`s commissioner for migration is calling on Hungary to comply with the bloc`s rules on dealing with asylum seekers.
EU Commissioner Dimitris Avramopoulos met with Hungarian officials and said experts would discuss the new asylum rules to ensure "that EU rules also are complied with.
New legislation entering into force in Hungary on Tuesday allows the detention of all asylum seekers in border container camps.
It has been sharply criticized by UN agencies and human rights advocates.
"Meanwhile, the Hungarian Helsinki Committee, an advocate for asylum seekers, said that a temporary order late Monday from the European Court of Human Rights prevents Hungary from taking eight teenagers and a woman with a high-risk pregnancy from refugee reception centers to the border container camps.
