Interior Minister
Angelino Alfano said Tuesday he is working on a common
anti-terrorism platform with the United States.
This would entail sharing intelligence and biometric data
in the fight against Islamist terrorism and cybercrime, he said
in the US capital where he met with Homeland Security Secretary
Jeh Johnson and US Attorney General Loretta Lynch.
"The collaboration with the US is excellent," he said.
"We are of the idea that collaboration between the entire
European Union and the US should be increased more and more".
Alfano added Italy and the US are also working on a common
data-sharing platform on migrants.
"For example, digital fingerprinting has been 100%
implemented in Italy," he said.
