Migration: Civil liberties committee to debate Commission plan for permanent relocation scheme
The civil liberties committee discusses on Tuesday 22 September new proposals by the European Commission to tackle the refugee crisis. Proposed measures include a permanent relocation mechanism, a common EU list of safe countries of origin and an effective return policy.
Watch the debate live and check out the main migration routes in the infographic.
The Commission proposals announced on 9 September also includes the relocation of an additional 120,000 asylum seekers from Italy, Greece and Hungary to other EU member states, which will be debated later the same day during the extraordinary meeting of the Justice and Home affairs Council. This proposal was already backed by MEPs on 17 September.
Parliament and the Council have an equal say on the permanent relocation mechanism and the common EU list of safe countries.
