(ANSA) - ROME, SEP 22 - The migrant issue risks dissolving
the EU, the bloc's High Representative for Foreign Affairs and
Security Policy Josep Borrell told the Guardian Friday.
Migration could be "a dissolving force for the European Union,"
because of the deep cultural differences between countries and
their long-term inability to reach a common migrant policy, he
said in an interview.
"Some members of the EU have a 'Japanese' style: we don't want
to mix, we don't want migrants, we don't want to accept people
from the outside. We want our purity," said Borrell, stressing
that, on the contrary, Europe needs migrants to counteract
falling demographic trends. (ANSA).
