Germany continues to play a leading role in receiving refugees around the world. However, there are some disagreements within the new federal coalition government over Germany’s approach to the EU’s asylum and migration policy. In April 2018, the government announced that it would accept 4,600 refugees to be resettled in 2018 and 5,600 in 2019 as a contribution to the EU program. In July 2018, the government agreed to receive about 300 refugees who had been evacuated to Niger from Libya. In early 2019, some amendments to the new immigration law came into force, which vary from strictness with some refugees and a strong welcome to the talent.
