EU to introduce migrant quotas for member states

The EU says that it will begin to “distribute” refugees and migrants among the 28 countries that make up the European body.

Germany, which accepted 200,000 migrants last year, is a big proponent of the new measure, as is Italy, which rescued more than 150,000 seafaring migrants in 2014.

London is opposed to the measure. But the pressure is on for the EU to establish a quick – and lasting – policy to deal with the crisis.
