Question

Why did many other countries refuse to raise their immigration quotas?

Answer 1

Answer:Under the Commission’s scheme, the 28 member states would be required to accept asylum seekers in proportion to the size of their economy, unemployment rate, and population.

The proposed key is based on a distribution index that gives population size a weight of 40%, 40% based on economic growth, 10% on unemployment, and 10% on previous engagements with asylum seekers.

Answer 2

The European Commission has submitted a proposal to find a fairer way to admit and distribute asylum seekers in the EU. But it’s up to the member states to decide, and many don’t accept the proposed distribution of migrants. The EURACTIV network reports. Hope this helps
