(ANSA) - Rome, December 9 - Interior Minister Angelino Alfano said Wednesday that it would be "unreasonable" of the European Commission to open infraction proceedings against Italy for its handling of asylum seekers. The Commission is said to be set to open an infraction proceeding against Italy and other member States for failing to respect the rules on the collection of the finger prints of asylum seekers upon entry into Europe.
"For the work we've done, the only thing we deserve from the EU is a thank you," Alfano said.
