EU-landen eens over nieuw herhuisvestingsplan migranten
July 23, 2019 - Acht lidstaten van de Europese Unie zijn een nieuw “solidariteitsmechanisme” overeengekomen, voorgesteld door Duitsland en Frankrijk, om de herhuisvesting van migranten die uit de Middellandse Zee zijn gered, te delen.
The eight countries are Croatia, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Lithuania, Luxembourg and Portugal, according to the BBC.
Another six nations backed the plan in principle at talks in Paris.
Italy, which has been at the forefront of the migrant influx in Europe, did not take part in the meeting.
No details of the deal, announced by French President Emmanuel Macron, were provided.
