A new refugee resettlement scheme, with a target of 50,000 being resettled over the next two years, should be implemented, the European Commission said Wednesday. This resettlement scheme would be voluntary, unlike Commission’s previous two-year scheme, which ended Tuesday and aimed to take 160,000 refugees who had arrived in Italy and Greece and move them across the EU. The Commission also proposed €500 million in financial support for EU countries in their resettlement efforts.
