Many projects for Syrian refugees
While the EU can point to many projects for Syrian refugees which it has
supported in Turkey and to a total amount of EUR 1.85 bn already paid out by
the end-March 2018, the Commission is calling for more progress with regard to
the return of refugees to Turkey. 5 Since the end of March 2016, only about 2,200
people have been returned from Greece under the 1:1 mechanism, in addition to
about 12,600 who have returned voluntarily under other schemes.
Reciprocally,
about 12,500 Syrian refugees have been resettled from Turkey to the EU. As of
early March 2018, Germany and the Netherlands had hosted the most refugees
so far among the member states (about 4,300 and 2,600, respectively)
