German Chancellor Angela Markel
said Tuesday that she and French President Emmanuel Macron
understood the Italian government's demands for greater
assistance from its European partners in dealing with the flow
of asylum seekers from North Africa.
"We conceive migration as a common challenge," Merkel told a
news conference after meeting Macron in Meseberg.
"Our object remains a European response.
"We want to avert Europe dividing. We support the
Commission's proposal and the reinforcement of (EU border
agency) Frontex.
"We understand Italy's evaluations on migration".
