(ANSA) - ROME, SEP 18 - German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser
has said she supports the proposal to expand air and naval
surveillance of the EU's external borders that was part of the
10-point plan on migrants presented by European Commission
President Ursula von der Leyen in Lampedusa on Sunday.
"We cannot do anything else, otherwise we will not have the
migration situation in hand," Faeser told ARD television.
On Saturday Faeser took part in a videoconference on the migrant
situation in Lampedusa involving Italian Interior Minister
Matteo Piantedosi, her French counterpart Gérald Darmanin and
Home Affairs Commissioner Ylva Johansson,
"We will move together to launch a common plan of action to, on
one hand, support Italy at the humanitarian level, and, on the
other, to see how to obtain more control," she said. (ANSA).
