Migrant crisis: EU and Turkey plan one-in, one-out deal
- 8 years ago
The EU and Turkey say they have agreed the broad principles of a plan to ease the migration crisis at a summit in Brussels, but delayed a final decision.
European Council President Donald Tusk said all irregular migrants arriving in Greece from Turkey would be returned.
For each Syrian returned, Turkey wants the EU to accept a recognised Syrian refugee, and offer more funding and progress on EU integration.
Talks on the plan will continue ahead of an EU meeting on 17-18 March.
