VIENNA (AP) — The latest developments as European governments rush to cope with the huge number of migrants moving across Europe. All times local (CET):

11 a.m.

Germany's vice chancellor says a new EU plan to relocate 160,000 refugees around Europe is a good "first step" but that the numbers show clearly more is needed.

Sigmar Gabriel told Parliament Thursday that Germany had registered some 450,000 migrants this year, including 105,000 in August and 37,000 in September through Tuesday.

"That shows that the redistribution of 160,000 refugees in Europe is a first step, if one is to be friendly about it," Gabriel said. "One could also say a drop in the ocean that won't solve everything."

The EU's plan proposed Wednesday in Brussels involves sharing 120,000 refugees from Greece, Italy and Hungary among 22 member states, on top of a proposal in May to share 40,000 refugees from just Greece and Italy.

10:05 a.m.

Denmark's police chief says his officers have been ordered not to stop hundreds of refugees and migrants who have entered the country via Germany.

Jens Henrik Hoejbjerg says it is purely a police decision, adding Danish officers "can't detain foreigners who do not want to seek asylum (in Denmark)."

In Thursday's statement, Hoejbjerg said the National Police took the decision late Wednesday. There was no immediate reaction from the Danish government.

Under EU rules, people seeking asylum should do so in the first EU country they enter and not travel from one country to another.

Many of the migrants say they want to go on to Sweden, Norway or Finland, because they have relatives there or believe that conditions for asylum-seekers are better.

10 a.m.

Austrian police say more than 3,000 migrants and refugees crossed into Austria overnight at Nickelsdorf, the main border point with Hungary.

They say a train carrying 400-500 left for Vienna early Thursday but most remain at Nickelsdorf.

Interior Ministry spokesman Karl-Heinz Grundboeck says authorities are meeting to discuss whether further special trains will be sent to the border for transport to Vienna's Westbahnhof terminal.

Most of those arriving there since the influx began on the weekend have chosen to continue on to Germany.
