Ursula von der Leyen on Monday made it clear to Poland and Hungary that decisions over the bloc's migration policy are to be taken by qualified majority, mere days after the two countries hijacked a leaders' summit to protest a proposed reform and demand voting by unanimity.
"That's what the treaties say and that's what we have delivered on," the European Commission president said during an official visit to Madrid.
