Many agree with migration compact (2)

(ANSAmed) - Luxembourg, April 21 - Italy's migration compact on helping origin and transit countries has met with the "consensus" not only of European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker but also "that of very many individual governments who, represented by their interior ministers today, said this approach as concrete, positive," Interior Minister Angelino Alfano said Thursday. He said they had voiced the hope it could be adopted by EU leaders. Alfano was speaking after an EU interior ministers' meeting on migration. The new proposed pact aims to give funds to countries in sub-Saharan Africa to boost growth and create jobs to keep many potential emigrants there.
