Petition Oppose plans for responsibility all asylum claims being shifted to the EASO

The FT has brought to our attention plans to make the an EU agency (European Asylum Support Office) responsible for all asylum claims within the EU including the UK, this will mean the UK government will lose control over immigration policy for people arriving from OUTSIDE the EU.

The story was broken by the Financial times on the 7th March and was also featured on Yahoo news:

Whether you think we should take more or less non EU migrants surely the member states and not the EU should decide it's migration policy not the EU.

I think we should have assurances of the government position on this issue and whether the Prime Minister and leader of the opposition will oppose these changes.
