(1 Dec 2015) Refugees and migrants arrived on the Greek island of Lesbos on Tuesday.
Two vessels travelling from Turkey transported 50 and 150 people respectively, while a rubber raft brought 40 ashore.
The new arrivals included people from Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq and Iran, as well as some ethnic Kurds.
European Union leaders and Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu on Sunday sealed a joint summit with a commitment to both re-energise Turkey's long-stalled membership talks and bolster their common resolve to deal with the Syrian refugee crisis.
The 28 EU leaders were leaning hard on Davutoglu to stem the flow of migrants as they seek to ease the impact on Europe's heartland.
European Council President Donald Tusk said the latest estimate showed that "approximately 1.5 million people" had illegally entered the EU this year, many coming through Turkey.
