Lawmakers in Brussels today agreed on far-reaching reforms to EU immigation policies. The European Parliament approved what's billed as a fairer system of settling new immigrants among the 27 member states. The changes will bring in tougher border checks and force all countries to share responsibility for immigration. The agreement follows nearly a decade of wrangling.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has welcomed the reforms as historic and indispensable. But Poland's prime Minister Donald Tusk says his government will not accept the relocation mechanism.
