Summary Romania is opposed to a European Commission plan to share out migrants

BUCHAREST (AFP) - Romania is opposed to a European Commission plan to share out migrants among EU members under a mandatory quota scheme, President Klaus Iohannis said Thursday.

"We believe that it is not a solution, and it is inappropriate to talk about mandatory quotas, calculated on an extremely bureaucratic basis -- almost like an accountancy exercise I might say -- without consulting member states," Iohannis told reporters.
