Germany and Poland ask the EU for help on Ukrainian refugees: “A thousand euros for each refugee and free means to move”

The ministers of the interior of Poland and Germany have asked the European Commission for help for the distribution of Ukrainian refugees fleeing the war and for the economic management of refugees who have entered the two countries. In a letter sent to the competent European Commissioners, Warsaw and Berlin raise the possibility of a fixed quota of one thousand euros per refugee accepted and ask the European executive to play a more active role in the division of refugees. The reception capacities of the two countries will not be sufficient to cope with the growing influx of people, write the German ministers Nancy Faeser and the Polish Mariusz Kaminski. The letter was addressed in particular to the two commissioners dealing with this emergency: the Greek Margaritis Schinas and the Swedish Ylva Johansson.

Poland has welcomed around 2.3 million people since the start of the Russian invasion, border guards reported on Twitter yesterday. German police registered the arrival of 266,975 refugees. “The solidarity platform – reads the letter – should support the management and organization of arrivals and the definition of possible agreements on a well-structured transport of refugees within the EU, where possible using transport hubs to organize travel by train, bus and plane ». The issue is on the table of the European Council of Interior Ministers which is meeting today in Brussels.

“With the French presidency of the EU, we have prepared a ten-point action plan to address the needs of the member states and the first line of reception” for refugees arriving from Ukraine. This was stated by the Vice President of the European Commission, Margaritis Schinas, upon her arrival at the Home Affairs Council. “We want to have clear rules for registration, transport, child protection and also on funding procedures,” he added.
