The estimate of 1.5 million is a sharp upward revision from the previous estimate, showing that the German authorities expect between 800,000 and 1 million asylum seekers this year.The new figure appears in an internal forecast by the government and which are reproduced in the newspaper Bild in an article Monday.

Sunday let the EU border control agency Frontex presented figures showing that about 630,000 people have taken illegally into the EU so far this year.

- We have registered about 630,000 illegal border crossings until the end of September, the Frontex chief Fabrice Leggeri Sunday.



- Must be limited


Most people who come to Europe, coming from Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and Eritrea. By perilous crossings of the Mediterranean, they come to Greece and Italy. From here we continue north and west, and Germany is the goal of many.

But Germany has already welcomed many hundreds of thousands, and struggling to manage the flow of people.

- We must limit the number of refugees coming to Europe, said the German finance minister Wolfgang Schäuble to German television Sunday.



Turkey-key


On Monday he may have gotten a solution on the table. Then the European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker meet Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Brussels, the newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine.

The meeting was Sunday not officially confirmed, but the newspaper finds that it will take place Monday. Where should the EU and Turkey to discuss plans that make it possible for Turkey to establish six new refugee camps with room for two million people. Camps should be partly financed by the EU. Thus, the pressure on the EU receiving apparatus, and particularly for the countries affected by refugees and migrants itinerary via the Balkans to Germany, muted.

In return, Turkey put in place an agreement that will allow the country's own citizens can travel visa-free to the EU, after the newspaper experience.

Migrant crisis: EU leaders avoid punch-up but fail refugee test
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is to hold key talks with EU officials in Brussels on how to deal with the migrant crisis.

Turkey is home to at least two million Syrian refugees and has been one of the main departure points for those trying to reach Europe.

It is thought EU officials will offer financial aid for more camps in Turkey.

Mr Erdogan is expected to press for more EU involvement to end the war in Syria.

EU leaders hope Syrian asylum seekers will stay in Turkey if camps there are better and if they have access to healthcare and jobs, correspondents report.

The EU is also expected to demand the right to help patrol Turkey's coastline to crack down on people smugglers.

Analysis: Katya Adler, BBC Europe editor, Brussels
The Turkish president cultivates an authoritarian, strongman image and he needs to keep that up ahead of tight elections in Turkey. He won't come to Brussels to be pushed around.

The EU is telling him how to better patrol his borders and what to do with refugees in his country and so he intends to slap a list of his own daunting demands on the table.

He wants EU support to establish a "safe zone" in northern Syria, just over the Turkish border and suggests building huge refugee camps there. Europe's leaders, notably Angela Merkel have already ruled out that possibility.

He also insists the EU should do more to help end the conflict in Syria and that Europe should take in more refugees in the meantime.

The talks will be tricky - relations are already tense after a couple of decades of failed negotiations on Turkey's possible accession to the EU.

Refugee crisis stokes tensions in Turkey

As well as financial aid, the EU is expected to offer the resettlement of more Syrians in Europe and to speed up the process of lifting visa restrictions for Turkish travellers.

On Sunday Mr Erdogan criticised European countries' migration policies at a rally in the French city of Strasbourg, accusing them of "confining refugees to the depths of the Mediterranean".

He said his country had taught Europe and the world a "lesson on humanity" by hosting two million refugees from Syria, AP reports.
