Premier Paolo Gentiloni on Friday
thanked European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker for
saying Italy had saved Europe's honour with its efforts to cope
with the Mediterranean asylum-seeker crisis. "A serious common
policy on migration is needed," Gentiloni told The State of the
Union conference in Florence. "I listened from Rome to the words
EU Commission President Juncker used and I thank him. Merci
Jean-Claude for saying that Italy defended the Union's honour.
But if it is a question of honour, honour should be defended
together".
