Following is a summary of this Express UK article: 

EU policymakers in Brussels have unveiled plans to significantly increase the amount of immigrants entering Europe by slackening rules about family reunification.

At the moment, migrants are only allowed to be reunited with their wives and children who they already had before leaving their home country, but the new rules will greatly expand the definition of family to also include relationships formed during the journey to Europe.

Angry German politicians are complaining that the new laws will open floodgates to fresh waves of immigration and undermine current attempts to bring the refugee crisis under control.

The EU is to set up a permanent policy to invite migrants to legally settle in the continent year after year, and it will fine states €250,000 per each allocated migrant they refuse

Following is a summary of this Breitbart article: 

The European Union is to establish a permanent policy to invite migrants to legally settle in the continent year after year.    The “EU Resettlement Framework” will offer legal routes for people deemed “in need of protection,” which the European commission says that it hopes will deter migrants from paying people smugglers to transport them to Europe.

Frans Timmerman, the Commission’s Vice-President said: “We need to move up a gear in our common efforts to provide international protection, and that includes resettling refugees in Europe in a safe and orderly way.  … It is an integral part of the larger objective of ensuring that protection is offered to those who need it, reducing the incentives for irregular migration and protecting migrants from exploitation by smuggling networks and dangerous journeys to reach Europe.”

The framework also explains how the unelected European Commission plans to relocate migrants throughout the continent.    The EU will give countries €10,000 for each migrant that they agree to take from other member states, and the commission will fine countries €250,000 per migrant allocated that they refuse.
