The UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) criticises the implementation of the EU Relocation Mechanism in Greece, saying that only 12% of the relocations agreed last year had been met, a figure "unacceptably low". The Agency's spokesperson Adrian Edwards also called on member states to offer extra relocation spaces "without delay".
