Redazione Ansa

(ANSA) - ROME, NOV 17 - Italy won't go it alone on migrants, Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi told his German counterpart Nancy Faeser on the sidelines of a Group of Seven interior ministers' gathering at Eltville in Germany Thursday, according to sources.
    Faeser, for her part, said Berlin will fulfill its commitments on the migrant issue.
    The bilateral, the sources stressed was a meeting between partners in which Italy confirmed that it wants to abide by EU rules, without proceeding on its own, on migrants, and Germany reiterated once again that it wanted to keep faith with EU solidarity rules.
    Migrants are currently at the top of the EU agenda after a spat between Italy and France over a French NGO migrant rescue ship that ended up in France, in a first, after Rome refused it access to Italian ports.
    During his bilateral with Faeser, Piantedosi said "several times" that Italy "does not intend at all to go it alone" on migrants, the sources said, while Minister Faeser underlined that Berlin will deliver on its commitments. (ANSA).
