Berlin, April 15 (RHC)-- German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s ruling coalition has agreed on the new integration draft bill, requiring refugees residing in the Western European state to learn German language and seek work or see their benefits cut. Along with language learning, the draft bill says that those refugees who break off job training courses will also lose benefits.

Merkel said the initiative, which will be formally approved by her cabinet on May 24, contains “an offer for everyone, but also duties for everyone.”

She further noted that the refugee crisis has posed two challenges to Germany, including the coordination of the influx of asylum seekers with the country’s European partners and the registration as well as integration of the new arrivals.
