Threats wrong way to get EU deal on migrant quotas: Merkel

-

German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Tuesday that using threats would not get EU states on one page over the distribution of migrants with the bloc.

"Threats are not the right way to unity," she told reporters. Earlier Tuesday, Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere had said that the bloc should examine cutting EU funds to member states that refuse to accept their fair share of refugees.
