French President Macron announced a proposal that would create closed migrant centers on European soil so authorities can quickly decide whether arriving migrants are eligible to apply for asylum and send back those who don't qualify.
European countries would take in migrants who qualify to apply in a shared plan that lifts the burden of carrying for them from the Mediterranean nations on the front line such as Italy, Spain and Greece, Macron said.
Spain's decision last week to take in a rescue ship with 630 migrants, and France's offer to accept some of those eligible to apply for asylum, exemplifies the need to share the burden, they both said.
