Integration no longer a criteria for accepting refugees Denmark will no longer choose its 500 annual "quota refugees" from the UN based on their chances at integration
Refugees coming to Denmark through the UN refugee agency, UNHCR, will no longer be selected according to their ability to integrate into the Danish society.
Since 1989, Denmark has selected 500 so-called 'quota refugees' for resettlement in Denmark from a list drawn up by the UNHCR.
The refugees are selected by the Danish Refugee Council and the government's Immigration Service on visits to countries where the refugees live.
