LUXEMBOURG (Reuters) - The European Union’s top court dismissed complaints on Wednesday by Slovakia and Hungary about EU migration policy, upholding Brussels’ right to force member states to take in asylum seekers. “The Hungarian government considers today’s decision by the European court to be appalling and irresponsible.”

The European Court of Justice dismissed Hungary and Slovakia’s legal challenge to the quota system, which was devised at the height of the migration crisis two years ago to relocate thousands of refugees in under-pressure Greece and Italy across the EU.
