This is prerequisite for the resettlement of refugees.
Refugees may also come from Lebanon, Jordan and North Africa, if Turkey fails to uphold its responsibilities.
Finland is also preparing to receive one hundred emergency cases from these areas. These refugees require urgent protection or medical attention.
The decision was made in accordance with EU guidelines.
Finland will stand by its decision not to raise the number of quota refugees next year even, if the EU increases pressure to take refugees from Turkish camps.
Finland's refugee quota next year is set at 750 persons when this year the figure was 1,050 persons.
