A new 'zero paper' by experts working under Bulgaria's EU Presidency suggests to solve EU member states' disagreements over migration by doing away with quotas and giving more decision-making power to national governments. Reform of the Dublin Regulation, which designates the member state required to process an application from an asylum seeker, has been a source of contention that has split the EU in recent years.
