Italy won't go it alone on migrants,
Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi told his German counterpart
Nancy Faeser on the sidelines of a Group of Seven interior
ministers' gathering at Eltville in Germany Thursday, according
to sources.
Faeser, for her part, said Berlin will fulfill its commitments
on the migrant issue.
The bilateral, the sources stressed was a meeting between
partners in which Italy confirmed that it wants to abide by EU
rules, without proceeding on its own, on migrants, and Germany
reiterated once again that it wanted to keep faith with EU
solidarity rules.
Migrants are currently at the top of the EU agenda after a spat
between Italy and France over a French NGO migrant rescue ship
that ended up in France, in a first, after Rome refused it
access to Italian ports.
During his bilateral with Faeser, Piantedosi said "several
times" that Italy "does not intend at all to go it alone" on
migrants, the sources said, while Minister Faeser underlined
that Berlin will deliver on its commitments.
