Denmark said on Friday it will not take part in a scheme to share out 160,000 refugees proposed by European Commission head Jean-Claude Juncker, Reuters reports. 

"We're not going to take any of the 160,000 asylum seekers that need to be distributed on Monday. There are two reasons: Partly because we have a justice opt-out, and partly because we have taken our share," said the country's integration minister Inger Stojberg.
