European Parliament President Roberta
Metsola said Monday that the EU needs to find solutions to the
problem of large numbers of migrants arriving from Africa before
next year's European elections.
"We have bills on the table and we are working every day in the
hope that we'll have a package of laws to finally address the
problems, the challenges, with solutions by the European
elections," Metsola said after being welcomed to the Italian
consulate in New York by Deputy Premier and Foreign Minister
Antonio Tajani.
"Otherwise, the citizens will not understand us any more.
"Now we must move from words to deeds.
"We need actions when we talk about the policy of repatriation,
asylum and solidarity".
