According to the decision, 66 000 persons will be relocated from Italy and Greece (15 600 from Italy and 50 400 from Greece) . The remaining 54 000 persons will be relocated from Italy and Greece in the same proportion after one year of the entry into force of the decision.
However, if the Commission considers that the functioning in practice of the relocation mechanism needs to be adapted to the evolution of the situation on the ground or that a member state is confronted with an emergency situation characterized by a sudden inflow of nationals of third countries due to a sharp shift of migration flows, it may submit a proposal to amend this decision.
The member states participating in the mechanism will receive a lump sum of 6 000 EUR for each relocated person.
