President Sergio Mattarella on
Monday said the European Union needed to show "firmness" in its
approach to the Mediterranean asylum-seeker crisis. "I am
certain that the same method of negotiation firmness (used to
solve the bank problems) will enable us to overcome the numerous
obstacles that are still positioned between long-sighted,
effective management of perhaps the most important issue the
European Union faces," Mattarella said at the Conference of
Ambassadors at the foreign ministry in Rome.
