The Minister referred to a 50% GDP and 50% population calculation. Will she clarify this is the calculation in Article 44k of the asylum and migration management regulation, which states that "The share of solidarity contributions to be provided by each Member State referred to in Article 44b(2) shall be calculated in accordance with the formula set out" in annexe 3? In 2022, 5.1 million migrants came to the EU from outside. Has someone in the Minister's Department run the calculations?
