Therefore, an agreement that would lead Germany to accept 3,500 asylum seekers who had first reached Italy from the EU external borders was introduced. According to Interior Minister Nancy Faeser, the recent arrival of thousands of migrants in Lampedusa meant Germany would take in people after all. We will decide who comes to the European Union and under what circumstances, and not the smugglers and traffickers.
