During a discussion with her coalition partner, Chancellor Angela Merkel reached a compromise to set up migrant processing centers in Germany. This will help lighten the domestic discord as she pursues regional solutions to Europe’s refugee crisis with countries such as Turkey.

There will be about three to five “reception facilities” set up. Two will be set up in Bavaria — where thousands cross daily — to speed up the processing of applications by people from so-called safe-origin countries including Albania and Serbia.

In a statement on Friday, Peter Altmaier, Merkel’s chief of staff, told Germany’s upper house of parliament in Berlin, saying “We want to reduce the disorderly influx; we want to establish legal procedures. This gives us hope that we will have the chance to arrive at a grand consensus in the coming months to address this issue.”

Bavarian Premier Horst Seehofer, the leader of a political insurrection against Merkel in the past few week, welcomed the plan as a commitment to reduce the flow of arrivals.

While speaking to reporters in Berlin, along with the party leaders in her coalition Social Democratic Party head Sigmar Gabriel and Seehofer – one of her main critics, Merkel said “We’ve ended this phase of the discussion and a huge amount of work now lies ahead of us.”

Initially, Seehofer had threatened unilateral action if Merkel’s administration did not do what was necessary to stop the flood pouring across the border from Austria.

Also, the coalition leaders agreed to set up a single national registration system for asylum seekers, to be approved by parliament this year.
