A call that leaders should
deport more economic migrants who don't have a true claim to asylum back to
their various countries has been made by Prime minister Cameron.
The announcement was made during
a meeting at Chequers with French president Francois Hollande.
The Prime Minister is
joining other European leaders at an emergency summit in Brussels later today.
A deal agreed yesterday to
relocate 120,000 people across the EU is already creating huge rifts among
member states.
A Downing Street spokesman
said Mr Cameron and Mr Hollande spoke for an hour about the migration crisis,
the situation in Syria and climate change.
The pair said there needed
to be more aid to countries neighbouring Syria to help ease the flow of
migrants.
The PM's spokesman said the
two leaders had agreed that today's summit must have a "comprehensive
approach".
The pair "agreed that
EU countries should do more to return migrants who don't have a genuine claim
for asylum to their countries of origin", the spokesman said.
Of the 50,400 refugees
being allocated from Greece, the largest number (13,009) will go to Germany.
A further 9,898 will go to
France and 6,127 to Spain, while the others will be divided between other
countries.
