Immigration: Rajoy urges Italy, Greece to organize hotspots

Spanish PM, quotas principle OK but parameters to be considered

01 September, 14:09
(ANSA) - BERLIN - Italy and Greece ''must quickly organize registration centers'' for immigrants, Spanish Premier Mariano Rajoy has said. Rajoy made the statement in Berlin, where he was visiting with Angela Merkel, stressing that this is a fundamental passage towards the resolution of the refugee crisis in Europe.

''The principle of the distribution of refugees in all 28 European countries is good'', also said the premier, replying to a question on Madrid's position on mandatory quotas.

The prime minister, however, stressed he wants to know the criteria: ''It is necessary to have appropriate knowledge to make informed decisions, we must know the parameters''. For Rajoy, unemployment rates and expenses to defend the borders of different countries make the difference. (ANSA)
