Five European Union countries are moving toward a plan to establish “return hubs” outside the bloc for migrants who have been ordered to leave Europe but cannot be sent back to their countries of origin.

Germany, Austria, Greece, Denmark and the Netherlands agreed on steps toward creating the facilities in a non-EU country. The countries are known as the Group of Five.

They discussed the initiative at a meeting in Copenhagen. The proposal focuses on migrants whose removal orders cannot currently be carried out because returning them to their home countries is not possible.
