EU-Turkey deal shd not be isolated event

(ANSA) - Brussels, April 15 - The migrant return deal between the Eu and Turkey "should not remain an isolated event", Premier Matteo Renzi said in a letter accompanying a 'migration compact' proposal sent to European Commission and European Council chiefs Friday. The accord "represents a first concrete attempt at enlarged and reinforced cooperation with a third country which, albeit clinched in a situation of urgency, and therefore perfectible, shows how it is possible to draw up effective lines of action in the management of migrant flows," he said. If it were to be a one-off, Renzi said, "that would determine an imbalance in terms of resources and political capital employed with respect to other geographical regions which are no less important in view of the migratory issue." Italy is trying to make sure the EU commits enough resources to a deal that would stem migrant flows from Libya.
