[IraqiNews] European interior ministers welcomed Friday an EU plan to better coordinate the handling of migrant arrivals, after a furious row over a refugee rescue boat erupted between Italia and La Belle France.
La Belle France has accused Italia of failing to respect the law of the sea by turning away the NGO vessel, triggering crisis talks in Brussels to head off a new EU dispute over the politically fraught issue.
All sides described the meeting as productive, but Czech interior minister Vit Rakusan, whose country holds the EU presidency, said afterwards that they had agreed that "more can and must be done" to find a lasting solution. |
