With the new call to the European Parliament, EU Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said Wednesday that his additional plan would bring the total for emergency relocation to 160,000.
Recalling the lengthy haggling among member states over the spread of the initial 40,000, Juncker said that this time "this has to be done in a compulsory way."
Juncker said he wants his plan endorsed by the member states at a special meeting in Brussels on Monday.
