00:04Hello and welcome to The Cube, your news is fact-checking show.
00:07After years of negotiations and debate among EU member states,
00:11a major reform of the European Union's migration rules came into force last week.
00:15The new pact aims to strengthen border procedures and overhaul the EU's asylum system.
00:21But some politicians from France's far-right national rally have challenged one of its key measures.
00:26They claim that the reform will allow the EU to impose a €20,000 fine on member states
00:31that refuse to accept migrants on their territory.
00:35The national rally's Marine Le Pen wrote on Acts that the migration pact
00:39will require European Union member states to welcome migrants under the penalty of fines.
00:44But these claims are misleading.
00:46Simply put, in recent years the EU countries that have received the largest number of migrants and refugees
00:51by land and sea have been Italy, Greece, Cyprus and Spain.
00:55To help these front-line countries manage migratory flow,
00:59the EU introduced a so-called solidarity mechanism.
01:03And while participation is mandatory, member states can choose how they contribute.
01:07One option is to take in asylum seekers from the EU countries under the greatest pressure.
01:12But countries that do not wish to take them in can choose an alternative way of participating.
01:17For example, they can make a financial contribution of €20,000 per asylum seeker
01:22they decide not to move to their territory, with the money going to support the member states facing the highest
01:28migration flow.
01:29So, the measure is not intended as a fine, but as a mechanism to help member states share responsibility for
01:35the migrants entering the EU.
01:37At least 30,000 asylum seekers a year are set to fall under the relocation system according to the text
01:44of the regulation,
01:45alongside a minimum financial contribution of €600 million.
01:52That is a vital recovery accordingly.
01:53That means the Middle East,000 for the Canadian Nich kollegor.
