The European Commission plans to consider potential financial payments for countries that refuse to accept refugees under the quota program. The amount of the fine will make about 250 thousand euros per person, reports RIA Novosti with a reference to the Financial Times.

On Wednesday, the European Commission plans to make a new proposal on making amendments to the current Dublin asylum system in the EU. According to the preliminary plans, the European Commission within the framework of the reforms will suggest to establish fees for countries that refuse to provide temporary asylum for refugees. However, this is still controversial.

According to one of the  sources the Financial Times referred to, the amount of fine will make 250 thousand euros for per person. This number may change though. Another source says that the price for refusing to accept refugees could reach hundreds of thousands of euros.

The Financial Times reports that the Eastern European countries such as Poland and Hungary , will welcome an alternative to the mandatory placement of refugees. However, if the European Commission does not change the plans , Poland, for example, will have to pay more than one billion euros to escape to place 4.5 thousand refugees under the quota program who arrived in Italy and Greece.

Today Europe has the biggest migration crisis since the Second World War ,which is caused due to  a number of armed conflicts and economic problems in the Middle East and North Africa . According to Frontex, in 2015 1.8 million migrants  came to the European Union. Most of them sneaked through Turkey to Greece and then were sent to the other EU countries.
