EU urged to adopt mandatory refugee quotas across bloc
European Commission President Jean Claude Juncker called for a swift and comprehensive EU response to the migration crisis. He urged a mandatory distribution of 160,000 refugees among 28 member states and said ministers would meet in Brussels next Monday to finalize measures. Merkel welcomed the plan but warned any binding quota system must apply to all states. Czech PM Sobotka opposed mandatory quotas saying they are not a good solution.
