Premier Paolo Gentiloni on
Thursday demanded the EU deliver urgent help for Italy to manage
the Mediterranean asylum-seeker crisis. "We are under pressure
and we ask for a concrete contribution from the Europeans,"
Gentiloni said at a press conference at the end of a preparatory
meeting in Berlin ahead of the G20. "Italy has never ducked its
commitments and it does not intend to do so, but we call for a
discussion of the role of the NGOs, the Frontex mission and the
resources available to work in Libya and other African
countries".
