EU to ‘step up’ resettlement for refugees from Turkey

The EU said Tuesday it would step up resettling refugees now in Turkey and help reinforce Turkish coastguard patrols under a crisis plan agreed during talks with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Ankara will meanwhile put “priority” on setting up six new partially EU-funded reception centers for refugees under the plan published by the European Commission following Erdogan’s visit to Brussels on Monday.
“Work on a structured EU-wide approach to resettlement shall be stepped up,” the commission said.
