Twelve countries have yet to contribute anything to the €3 billion EU-Turkey deal, according to a European Commission report out Wednesday. Belgium, Austria, Poland, Slovenia, Croatia, Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, and Spain are among EU member states that have contributed nothing to the humanitarian assistance fund for refugees in Turkey.
