German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, says Germany will create up to five special centres for asylum-seekers deemed to have little chance of staying.
This comes after the German Chancellor’s Christian Democrats and junior coalition partners- the Social Democrats, have quarreled for weeks over the issue.
Germany says it expects to receive at least 800,000 asylum seekers in 2015 and is seeking to speed up the asylum process, after the governing coalition resolved a rift on the issue..
Earlier, the European Commission said that three million migrants were likely to arrive in Europe by the end of 2017.
The huge influx of asylum seekers has caused political turmoil across the European Union (EU) with member states disagreeing about how to deal with the crisis.
