Unfortunately this is not a new thing, I remember going to Malta in the early 80s as the island is between their set-off point and destination many of them ended up in Malta on the way to Italy. The Maltese didn't want them and large numbers were penned in at the airport ready for removal. Unfortunately they think that Europe is the land of milk and honey nobody told them the milk went sour and the bees are dying.
