European Commission to unveil new EU asylum options
The move is in part a reaction to the difficulties faced by Greece and Italy to cope with thousands arriving from the Middle East and Africa.
Other countries meanwhile have taken in hardly any refugees.
Separately, people in the Netherlands are taking part in referendum on an EU free trade deal with Ukraine.
They will be given the choice of voting for or against ratification of the deal.
Correspondents say the non-binding referendum is being viewed by many as an opportunity to protest against the EU's expansion and what they consider to be its undemocratic decision-making processes.
Some campaigners see it as a precursor of the UK's June referendum on EU membership.
