(5a) Whereas at its meetings of 25 and 26 June 2015, the European Council decided, inter alia, that three key dimensions should be advanced in parallel: relocation/ resettlement, return/ readmission/ reintegration and cooperation with countries of origin and transit. Whereas the European Council agreed in particular, in the light of the current emergency situation and the commitment to reinforce solidarity and responsibility, on the temporary and exceptional relocation over two years from Italy and Greece to other Member States of 40 000 persons in clear need of international protection. Whereas Member States should agree on binding quota for the distribution of such persons, reflecting the specific situations of Member States.
