Renzi says all EU must accept migrant quotas

(ANSA) - Rome, May 19 - Premier Matteo Renzi said Tuesday that all of the European Union must accept migrants quotas because the problem of waves of arrivals across the Mediterranean cannot be handled by Italy alone. "The EU for the first time has said that the problem is not only Italian," Renzi said in an interview with TV's Porta a Porta. "The countries agreed to send ships but they must accept the principle of quotas," and accept responsibility for a share of the migrants, he added. France and Spain have questioned the quotas.
