The European Union is set to approve changes to its asylum rules. The changes will include a new system for housing asylum seekers in reception centers.

The new system is expected to be in place by the end of the year, according to the European Commission. The European Parliament is likely to have a say in the new rules, which will be drawn up by the EU's interior minister in 2015. The EU is also expected to make changes to the rules on the right of asylum seekers to stay in the EU if they are not granted permission to stay.
