Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani on
Monday told his EU counterparts that the migrant issue was
European problem amid a spat with France over a French NGO
rescue ship that was redirected to Toulon after Rome refused to
take it.
"Italy put the problem of migration on the table, it's a
European problem, not one for Italy or France (alone)," Tajani
told reporters after the ministerial meeting.
"I reiterated that for us the problem must be faced at an EU
level".
He added: "The tones today were not ones of fracture. I think
there was a will by all to try to find a European solution".
