(ANSA) - TRIESTE - Europe should "move from words to deeds" in the migrants' emergency and sanction the Member States that "turned their backs to Italy and Greece". Director of theInternational Organization for Migration (IOM)Coordination Office for the MediterraneanFederico Soda said in an interview with Italian newspaper Repubblica. "The EU Commission had established refugee quotas for each member country, according to the population and GDP. Everyone had to do their part, but many did not keep up the promises, others did not join in from the beginning".

Hungary, Poland and Austria didn't accept anyone yet, Soda said, while the Czech Republic "didn't take a migrant in almost a year". On the other side, Germany is efficiently receiving migrants. (ANSA).
