European Union: This has never been in line with French proposals, the French Prime Minister, Manuel Valls, said in regards to the European Commission Plan unveiled Wednesday to grant 20,000 asylums across the EU in the coming years, according to Russia Today. Asylum is a right granted by international standards applied to all countries of the European Union. I am against the introduction of quotas for migrants. It is also for this reason that the number of beneficiaries cannot be the subjected to quotas, Valls said in Menton, on the Italian border, where French police in the last four days detained a record 944 migrants and arrested 54 people smugglers. Britain rejects EU proposal to evenly distribute 20k Mediterranean migrants France, Valls said, has already done plenty, offering asylum to 5,000 Iraqis and 4,500 Syrian refugees since 2012. Valls called for a fair distribution of refugees between all member states, but pointed out that currently 75 per cent of migrants are settled in Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Sweden.
