'Ability to Integrate': Denmark to Introduce New Rules for Young Immigrants
12:53 GMT 31.05.2016 (Updated: 13:05 GMT 31.05.2016) The Danish Parliament on Tuesday is considering the new integration law that, if adopted, will be imposed on immigrant children over the age of six, The Local news portal reported.
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The new law would require the Danish immigration authorities to evaluate an immigrant child’s "ability to integrate" if one of his or her parents stays in their home country.
The new law would "partially close a loophole in relation to family reunification and partially tighten" the existing legislation, Integration Minister Inger Stojberg said, as quoted by the news portal.

Currently, children do not have to undergo such evaluation in case they are admitted to the country through a family reunification scheme and in case an application for the reunification is filed within two years after the child’s parent is granted residence in the European country.
The bill is reportedly set to be fast-tracked through parliament so that it can take effect from Friday.
Amid a major migrant influx to Europe, in 2015, the number of refugees who applied for asylum in Denmark exceeded 21,000. In response to the migrant crisis, some EU member states, including Denmark, have toughened migration laws and introduced strict border controls.
