Redazione Ansa

(ANSA) - ROME, MAR 21 - Premier Giorgia Meloni said Tuesday that European action was needed to stop the arrival of migrants and avert the danger of another shipwreck like the February 26 one off the Calabrian town of Cutrio in which at least 87 people died as she reported to the Senate ahead of this week's EU summit.
    "After the Cutro disaster, I wrote to the president of the European Commission, the president of the European Council and to the European Council to reiterate that we cannot wait any longer," Meloni said.
    "We cannot wait defencelessly for the next shipwreck, a danger which, I insist, is caused by crossings organized by unscrupulous human traffickers.
    "Italy's borders are Europe's borders". (ANSA).
