First, that is a migration figure. It is not people applying for asylum so we have not done a figure based on that because it does not apply in any way, shape or form. The 2.16%, which is calculated via GDP and population, only applies to the reallocation or solidarity mechanism.

What is clearly set out is that 30,000 is the figure that can increase. It will not increase to 5 million people. I cannot envisage a situation ever arising where that figure would increase to 5 million people.
