Amsterdam, Rabi'II 18, 1437, January 28, 2016, SPA -- A European plan to ferry back refugees from the Greek islands to Turkey has been presented by the Netherlands, which currently holds the European Union presidency, the leader of the ruling Social Democrats told daily De Volkskrant on Thursday, dpa reported. The plan was currently being worked out in several European Union member states, including Germany, Diederik Samsom said. According to the plan, EU member states would pledge to take up to 250,000 refugees a year in return. Under those conditions, Turkey would agree to take the refugees back, the Dutch politician said. "Turkey still has to adapt some laws and improve the situation of Syrian asylum seekers. It has to become a safe country," he said. The first ferries could be running from March or April, he added. --SPA 13:28 LOCAL TIME 10:28 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
