Thousands of refugees are homeless after fires in the Moria migrant camp on the Greek island of Lesbos.

On Friday, ten EU countries promised to receive a total of around 400 homeless children from the camp.

Germany and France say they are prepared to receive 100-150 children each.

No similar message has come from Sweden.

On Wednesday, Sweden's Minister of Justice and Migration Morgan Johansson (S) discussed the issue to the Swedish Migration Board.

"As for a possible transfer of asylum seekers from Greece, it is the Swedish Migration Board that makes the decision and not the government," he said in a written comment to TT.

Only in some cases

However, the Swedish Migration Agency points out that they can only make decisions in so-called Dublin inquiries.

This means issues that concern people with an ongoing or completed asylum process in Sweden before, or who have a family in Sweden.

Such requests would in this case come directly from Greece.

- The room for maneuver we currently have is to try out any Dublin inquiries, says Johanna Måhlén, communicator at the Swedish Migration Board.

TT: So if none of these refugees from the camp have a family or a process in Sweden, then you can do nothing?

-No, exactly.

The Swedish Migration Agency's room for maneuver is in accordance with Dublin requests.

"Violates the Constitution"

What opportunities Sweden has to receive children from the burnt-out camp, in cases that do not fall within the scope of a Dublin request, is unclear.

- The government can not give the Swedish Migration Agency the task of taking people home from other countries, then the government violates the constitution, says Adriana Haxhimustafa, press secretary at Morgan Johansson.

The message is that the only case where it is possible is if the European Commission has decided on a redistribution of refugees to the Member States.

- Hypothetically speaking, the European Commission can say "Now we want all Member States to receive people from this camp" and then it goes over Swedish law as well.

But we are not there, the European Commission has not said anything like that, says Adriana Haxhimustafa.
