The European Union and Turkey have agreed in principle to a plan of action to help ease the flow of refugees into the bloc, a German newspaper reported Sunday.The Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung said the European Commission and Turkish government representatives struck the accord last week and that it would be approved during talks Monday in Brussels between Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and EU leaders.Under the plan, Turkey would agree to stepped-up efforts to secure its frontier with the EU by taking part in joint patrols with the Greek coastguard in the eastern Aegean coordinated by EU border protection agency Frontex, the report said.Any refugees picked up would be taken back to Turkey, where six new camps for up to two million people would be built, co-financed by the EU.EU states meanwhile would agree to take in up to 500,000 people to ensure their safe passage across the sea without the involvement of people smugglers. The report, citing Commission and German sources, said the plan fleshed out a preliminary 2013 agreement between Brussels and Ankara.Assuming there is an accord Monday, the plan would go before EU leaders at the next summit in mid-October.EU leaders agreed at an emergency migrant summit last week to offer more aid to Ankara as well as other countries in the region.The EU also wants to set up "hotspots" for registering asylum seekers on Turkish soil -- a measure recently ruled out by Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu.Turkey is currently hosting over two million Syrian refugees.
