Italian proposal for floating hotspots
The Italian government will propose to the partner countries of the European Union identified migrants rescued at sea already from the moment you board the ships rushing to save them, said Italian Interior Minister Angelina Alfano. The proposal is to take fingerprints and collected data on nationality and marital status of those migrants already before they reach the shore, ie the First Reception Centres -KEPY or hotspots- which has opened Italy to this end .
"So we have hotspots at sea," explained Alfano during a joint press conference with the European Commissioner for Immigration and Home Affairs Dimitris Avramopoulos in Catania, Sicily.
"Today we have an example of applying European solutions to European challenges. Europe is here to support Italy bears a great responsibility in dealing with the refugee crisis, "said Mr. Avramopoulos.
"As I've said many times before, Italy is not alone. Europe is standing at her side. The operational strength of Frontex is a concrete example of European solidarity in a country that is at the forefront of the crisis ", added the Greek commissioner.
In connection also with developments in refugee and the role of Italy and Greece, wanted to highlight:
"More immigrants newly arrived in Italy and even more are expected to arrive. We must be very careful and better equipped. Compared with the situation a year ago, things have changed completely. It is true that Europe is next on frontline Member States, such as Greece and Italy. We made important steps forward, but we have not reached the desired point. All Member States must show responsibility, solidarity and implement the decisions we have taken together at European level. "
Referring finally to the proposal of the Italian Interior Minister Angelina Alfano for creating mobile hotspot units said that examined very seriously by the Commission and considers that it will probably be accepted.
"It is clear that before anything else, we must consider all aspects of the implementation - including legal terms," concluded the commissioner responsible for immigration.
