There has been a record
drop in the number of asylum requests in Italy in the second
quarter of 2018, Eurostat said Tuesday.
There were 20,500 fewer requests with respect to the same
period in 2017, and 4,500 fewer than the first quarter - both EU
records.
"It is the country with the most marked absolute drop in
requests, followed by Germany (-12,000 over the year)", the
European statistics agency said.
In Spain requests rose by 6,600 and in Greece by 5,800, again
on an annual basis.
