French President Francois Hollande said June 19 that he thought commitments by individual EU member states offered a better way of resettling African and Middle Eastern migrants rather than the imposition of national quotas by Brussels.

“I do not think [quotas] make any sense for migration. I do not think it is the right method,” Hollande told a news conference after meeting the leaders of Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland in Bratislava.

Britain had previously agreed to take in up to 500 Syrian vulnerable refugees, including women and children, in a three year program in collaboration with the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.
