A draft document on the
re-settlement of 40,000 refugees in Europe says that member
States can decide the distribution among themselves but with a
time restriction of one month, sources told ANSA.
"All States will decide by the end of July on the
distribution," says the draft prepared for a summit of European
Union leaders set for Thursday and Friday.
The draft aims to overcome conflicts among members over who
would set quotas and at what levels among member States for
accepting refugees.
Some balked at being ordered to accept a set number of
refugees.
Sources said this approach, with the one-month deadline,
should be better accepted.
