ROME: The incoming head of the European Commission called Friday for a"new pact" on migration during a trip to Italy, which insists Europe must take a fairer share of asylum seekers.
Rome has long called for a revision of Europe's so-called Dublin asylum rules, which stipulate that the country of first arrival must process asylum seekers. Von der Leyen, who will take office in November, acknowledged that Italy, Spain and Greece were"geographically exposed" and said the EU must show greater solidarity."We need to adapt the Dublin rules to manage migration flows more efficiently," Conte said.Italy's populist government has closed the ports to charity ships rescuing migrants in the Mediterranean, forbidding them to enter the country's territorial waters and leaving people blocked at sea for long periods.
