Interior ministers Matteo
Salvini of Italy, Horst Seehofer of Germany and Herbert Kickl of
Austria said after talks here Thursday that an "axis of the
willing" led by Vienna, Berlin and Rome would curb migrant
departures and landings in Europe, so that only those who are
really fleeing was arrive in Europe.
Italian proposals on migrants should become EU ones, Interior
Minister Matteo Salvini said after three-way talks in Innsbruck
Thursday with German and Austrian counterparts Horst Seehofer
and Herbert Kickl.
"It will bring satisfaction if Italian proposals become
European ones with a reduction of migrant departures, landings
and costs," he said.
"If the Italian model becomes European it will be cause for
pride".
Premier Giuseppe Conte said after talks with German
Chancellor Angela Merkel before the second day of a NATO summit
Thursday that "an excellent opening on migrants came as far as
the enactment of the conclusions that we shared at the European
Council goes".
He said "now it's a question of implementing this plan".
Conte said "this should be done with those ideas and
principles that were agreed.
"Therefore we must work on it in the coming days with her and
with the European institutions".
