Memo from EU Commissioner Cecilia Malmström "I have been in contact today by phone with the German Federal Minister of the Interior, Hans-Peter Friedrich, who informed me of Germany's intention to resettle 5000 Syrian nationals in need of shelter in the coming months. I welcome this initiative that represents a striking example of solidarity in a moment when Syrian people are suffering the consequences of a devastating situation and I hope other Member States will follow it. I have immediately asked my services to look into the possibility of offering financial help to Germany in its resettlement efforts." |
