On the 16 June 2015 the Council of the European Union discussed the different aspects of the European Agenda on Migration and its implementation package. Several media sources reported that ministers at the meeting had failed to agree on a plan to distribute asylum seekers more equally across all 28 EU member states. However, according to official statements, most delegations welcomed the package's comprehensive and cross-cutting nature, as well as its mix of immediate actions to address the current crises and the proposed long-term measures that should lead to the establishment of a true European migration policy. The Council invited its preparatory bodies to continue these discussions with the aim of achieving full implementation as soon as possible. The Presidency would report to the European Council later in June 2015 on the results of these discussions. EUObserver reported on the 24 June 2015 that the Visegrad countries (Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia) had rejected the concept of mandatory quotas for refugees. |
