EU migration: refugee relocation 2018, by country

Under the European Union (EU) Relocation Scheme in 2015, the EU member states were obliged to relocate refugees from Italy and Greece. As of April 2018, Germany transferred 10,825 out of 27,536 refugees it was required to relocate, while the Czech Republic only relocated 12 out of 2,691 persons. Non-EU countries Norway, Switzerland, and Liechtenstein also resettled refugees. The European Commission launched treaty infringement procedures against Poland, Czech Republic, and Hungary for not complying with their obligations on the refugee relocation.

Supplementary notes

* The figures for the EU relocation scheme, adopted by the Council of the EU, were obtained from the European Commission factsheet. In total, under the scheme, it was planned to relocate first 120,000 and later 160,000 refugees into EU member states as well as non-EU states Liechtenstein, Switzerland, and Norway.
The figures did not include 54,000 Syrian refugees who were to be relocated from Turkey under the EU-Turkey agreement and nearly 8,000 refugees who were still to be relocated from Greece and Italy under the Council decision 2015/1601.
