LUXEMBOURG: Migrants rescued at sea should be taken to centres in north Africa where their claims for asylum in European Union countries can be studied, German interior minister Thomas de Maiziere proposed on Thursday. "People who are rescued in the Mediterranean should be brought back to safe accommodation facilities in northern Africa," de Maiziere told reporters. EU countries, confronting populist opposition to refugees, have long feuded over quotas for relocating asylum seekers from Greece and Italy as well as for resettling people from refugee camps. 00Germany proposes N Africa centres for rescued migrants was posted in World of TheNews International - https://www.thenews.com.pk on October 14, 2016 and was last updated on October 14, 2016.
