Premier Giorgia Meloni said that she
was "highly satisfied" with the special European Council summit
which concluded overnight with an agreement on managing migrant
flows and economic issues.
She added, however, that "I think some issues need to be
examined (further) in depth".
The EU leaders agreed to on the need to pay more attention to
controlling and protecting the bloc's external border and
recognised the specific nature of the sea border, which Italy
had been calling for, as well as giving the green light to more
flexible use of existing funds and faster State aid.
Meloni is set to give a press conference on Friday.
The summit was overshadowed by tension between Italy and France
after French President Emmanuel Macron organized a meeting in
Paris on Wednesday with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky
and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz without involving Meloni.
The Italian premier said this decision was "inopportune".
