European Parliament Passes Landmark Directive on Platform Workers' Rights
The European Parliament has approved the EU's inaugural directive aimed at regulating the employment rights of individuals working through online platforms
The European Parliament on Thursday gave the green light to a plan put forward by the EU Commission under which 120 000 migrants will be relocated from Greece, Italy, and Hungary.
Germany, France, and Spain will be the countries to take in more than half of these. With smaller countries in terms of population and/or GDP the number varies between a few hundred and a few thousand. Bulgaria is to receive some 1600 people, with Interior Minister Rumyana Bachvarova announcing on Monday that Sofia will insist that the families it is to accommodate should be from Syria.
The exact numbers of people for each country are available here.
A stable "yes" majority of 372-124 (53 abstained), however, is not tantamount to quotas entering into force - the vote as not binding and will be followed by a meeting of interior ministers next week.
Some EU member states are against the introduction of quotas, with Central European states such as the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Poland vehemently opposing any compulsory relocation.
