Brussels will give the refugees in Turkey a monthly allowance, but it is refusing to disclose how much money that amounts to.
Commissioner for Humanitarian Aid, Christos Stylianides, announced yesterday that ?348million will be set aside for the controversial scheme.
The hundreds of millions of Euros form part of the overall ?2.5billion aid package the EU has granted Turkey in order to help its government provide care for the millions of Syrian refugees who have fled their homeland and come to reside in Turkey?s makeshift camps.
The deal is designed to stop Turkey allowing the migrants to freely enter European territory.
An electronic debit card will be handed to the most vulnerable refugees so they can buy basic goods such as food and sanitary products.
Mr Stylianides, from Cyprus, said the card would allow the migrants to ?buy what they need to put bread on the table, to provide a roof for their families and to send their children to school instead of being forced to send them to work?.
