\n

The European Commission has unveiled a new blueprint for dealing with the EU’s migration crisis, including a controversial plan for national quotas.<\/p>\n

The EU aims to bring 20,000 refugees to Europe in the next two years, as part of the plan, at a cost of \u20ac50m (\u00a336m).<\/p>\n

The Commission is urging EU states to share the burden of processing asylum claims. Italy and Greece, facing a migrant surge, are struggling to cope.<\/p>\n

Under EU law the UK, Ireland and Denmark are exempt from the quota plan.<\/p>\n

There is pressure for tougher EU action to send economic migrants back home.<\/p>\n

Military option<\/h2>\n

The EU is considering naval action in the Mediterranean to intercept boats used to traffic migrants from North Africa, with Libya a particular hotspot.<\/p>\n

But EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said concrete military measures would have to be decided on Monday by EU foreign and defence ministers.<\/p>\n

Any military strike against human traffickers would require UN Security Council authorisation, the EU says.<\/p>\n

At a news conference in Brussels, Ms Mogherini called the migration problem in the Mediterranean “unprecedented” and “dramatic”.<\/p>\n

More than 1,800 migrants have died at sea this year trying to reach Italy – a sharp rise on last year’s corresponding figures.<\/p>\n

The EU will step up co-operation with officials in war-torn Libya, she said, to curb the flow of migrant boats. More EU experts will also be sent to Agadez in northern Niger, West Africa, which has become a hub for the trafficking of Africans to Europe.<\/p>\n

The UK says the EU should focus more on fighting the traffickers who exploit migrants, put their lives at risk, and fuel the influx into southern Europe.<\/p>\n

If the UK decides to opt in to the refugee resettlement plan, it would accept 2,309 – 11.5% of the 20,000 total, the Commission says.<\/p>\n

The Commission’s “European Agenda on Migration”<\/a> consists of policy guidelines that would have to get approval from a majority of EU governments to become law.<\/p>\n

The proposed quota system for distributing migrants already in European countries – separate from refugee resettlement – is based on key data such as GDP, unemployment figures and national population.<\/p>\n

The Commission calculates that Germany would take the largest number – 18.4% – followed by France (14%), Italy (11.8%) and Spain (9%).<\/p>\n

The new mechanism is called a “distribution key”. It is to be launched on a temporary basis by the end of this month, with a permanent plan to follow by the end of this year.<\/p>\n

France, Germany, Italy and some other countries back the Commission’s quota proposal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
