European Union leaders and Turkey have finalised a deal to try to ease the migrant crisis.<\/p>\n

European Council President Donald Tusk tweetedthere was “unanimous” agreement between Turkey and the 28 EU leaders.<\/p>\n

Under the scheme, from midnight Sunday migrants arriving in Greece will be sent back to Turkey if their asylum claim is rejected, EU sources said.<\/p>\n

In return, EU countries will resettle thousands of Syrian migrants living in Turkey.<\/p>\n

For Turkey, the deal will also bring financial aid and faster EU membership talks.<\/p>\n

An EU source told the BBC up to 72,000 Syrian migrants living in Turkey would be settled in the EU under the agreement.<\/p>\n

They added that the mechanism would be abandoned if the numbers returned to Turkey exceeded that figure.<\/p>\n
