Migrant crisis: Change of attitude by member states
The EU’s top diplomats were working late into the evening to agree on taking 160,000 asylum seekers from front-line states in a change of attitude by member states.
Ireland’s decision to take 3,500 people over two years from the European Commission’s target was well received, although dwarfed by Germany’s announcement that it was open to taking 800,000 this year.
