Premier Matteo Renzi admitted
Thursday that he and German Chancellor Angela Merkel did not see
eye-to-eye on Italy's proposal to issue eurobonds to finance
spending to tackle the asylum-seeker crisis.
"It's necessary to have a strategy for Africa like the one
for the Balkans route," Renzi told a news conference after
meeting Merkel in Rome.
"We have presented a document to our European partners
and we have discussed it with Angela's staff," he added,
referring to Italy's proposal for a migration compact.
"We don't agree on some points, in particular on the
financing. We proposed eurobonds but there's no agreement on
this".
