Immigrants, the EU responds to Bossi "sorting? No way"

BRUSSELS - not to mention to ease tensions between Italy and the European Union on the management of new and increasing flows of immigrants from North Africa as a result of the instability of the old regimes. The new heads-up on this time is a declaration of Umberto Bossi. "New landings of immigrants from the Maghreb? We hope not to come.

If we have them sent to France and Germany." These statements of leaders of the Northern League, a provocation in perfect Bossi-style, closed with a very convincing "We expect orders from Europe" about the position to take on the situation in Libya. Orders do not arrive from Europe, but little comforting signals to Bossi and those in the government hoped to see each other open the doors of other countries in the EU for a redistribution of migrants continue to arrive, hour after hour, on the Italian coast.

European diplomatic sources gilding the bitter pill and preceded by the word "solidarity". What the governments of member states of northern Europe to Italy would express by ensuring their availability to provide a Roma "human material and financial resources" to meet emergency needs. But no opening to the possibility of a sorting of immigrants.

According to the same sources, at the Council for Justice and Home Affairs (JHA), on Thursday and Friday, the governments of Northern Europe to affirm their willingness to consider the issue of riots in Arab countries as "a European problem "but certainly not to make concessions to Italy.

Why, they note, "a country of 60 million people can not have a problem to deal with a few thousand migrants". To reinforce the concept, explains the diplomatic sources, governments of northern Europe to Italy are ready to recall the wording of the "clear" European legislation: the management of immigrants, seen as the repatriation of illegal and evaluation of applications for asylum , it is the country where they port.

And there are plenty of historical precedent to support the opposite position to the sorting of refugees, Italy with the same protagonist, but with roles reversed, and Germany as consistency and compliance with EU rules. "Italy did not want any of the immigrants who arrived in Malta - -.

And remember The sources at the time Germany did not blink in front of the 300 thousand who arrived in the country at the time of crisis in the Balkans." Clarified the point, the diplomatic circles point out as a community commitment to relieve the pressure on Italy could reach in political terms, the availability of the 27 common measures against the countries of origin, to "convince" to facilitate the readmission expatriates.
