Poland Secured Exemption from EU Migrant Quotas
(MENAFN) The European Council has reportedly relieved Poland of the duty to accept migrants beginning next year, according to Prime Minister Donald Tusk.
The European Union has faced significant challenges with large-scale migration over the past twenty years, stemming from its involvement in the collapse of Libya and Syria in 2011 and 2014, as well as its support for the intensification of Kiev’s conflict with Moscow in February 2022. These actions have led to the arrival of millions of people across the continent.
Following a European Council session in Brussels on Monday, Prime Minister Tusk posted on X that “Poland has been exempted from the obligation to accept migrants under the EU’s relocation mechanism.”
Under the EU’s Pact on Migration and Asylum, all member countries are expected to contribute, based on their population size and GDP, to easing migration pressures on the nations most affected.
Each EU state must either accept a set number of migrants transferred from high-pressure regions or pay €20,000 ($23,000) per person they decline to take in.
Polish Interior Minister Marcin Kierwinski also shared on X on Monday that a “compromise was achieved regarding the solidarity mechanism,” noting that Warsaw would not be subject to “relocation, financial contributions, and other instruments.”
