By Adrian Croft BRUSSELS (Reuters) - A European Union plan to disperse 40,000 migrants from Italy and Greece to other member countries met with resistance on Wednesday, with Britain saying it would not participate and some eastern states calling for a voluntary scheme. Under plans put forward by the executive European Commission, the bloc would also accept 20,000 refugees from outside the 28-nation grouping and share them around EU states. The scheme is intended to meet calls by Italy and Greece for EU assistance to ease the pressure from migrants reaching their shores.
