Tajani satisfied with the European agreement on migrants. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Antonio Tajani, said he was “very satisfied” with the agreement reached in Luxembourg on the management regulation and procedures for asylum and migration, which is “an important first step, we will continue to work in that direction”. Because “Europe has finally understood that it is not just an Italian, or Maltese or Spanish problem”, but that it is an issue that “must be faced together” because “it is important to solve the problem upstream”, said Tajani on the last day of the EPP meeting in Rome.
“We need a European strategy in which Italy wants to play its part to ensure that we can achieve the right not to emigrate,” added Tajani, quoting Pope Benedict XVI. In this strategy, continued Tajani, “Italy is working with Tunisia and Libya”. And during his mission to Washington, from where he will depart on Sunday, Tajani will discuss the Tunisian issue with both the US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, and the director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Kristalina Georgieva. “We will put pressure on Tunisia to be looked at with greater attention – said Tajani – It is necessary to finance that country without waiting for the implementation of reforms”.
