Are too many

The bishop responds

Sent back to Norway

Midttømme expect the Norwegian authorities make contact with France to find a solution .

– If they can not accommodate the family , women and children being sent back to Norway until things are clarified. There is nothing in the way that Norway can choose to process her application , even if it was first registered in France , says Midttømme.

– This means that the en France is in charge of the family after the chores French authorities are bound by the Dublin cooperation , says deputy director Geir Bang Danielsen .
