The European Commission presented on 15 December 2015 a Recommendation regarding a voluntary humanitarian admission scheme to create a system of solidarity and responsibility sharing with Turkey for the protection of persons displaced by the conflict in Syria to Turkey. The scheme should be flexible to take into account the sustainable reduction of numbers of persons irregularly crossing the border from Turkey into the European Union as a result of Turkey's actions. Member States were invited to participate in the scheme on a voluntary basis taking into account their capacities. This scheme was expected to only apply to persons who had been registered by Turkish authorities before the EU-Turkey meeting on 29 November 2015. |
