Denmark to take 1,000 refugees, opposes quotas
丹麦决定接受1000名难民
The Danish government says it has voluntarily agreed to accept 1,000 refugees out of the 120,000 people the EU plans to relocate to ease the burden on frontline states. The government said it has not yet decided the period of time over which the refugees will be accepted, and the issue will be discussed next week.
Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen says Denmark will also give an additional US$114 million to humanitarian efforts in the areas bordering conflict zones. Denmark is an EU member, but it has negotiated an opt-out from Europe's immigration policy. Rasmussen says there is little support in parliament for accepting refugees under a European quota plan.
