Italy To Expel Criminal EU Citizens
After recent criminal acts by mostly Romanian citizens, Italy will expel migrants who are without proper documentation and/or with previous police records. Hundreds of thousands of Romanians have moved to Italy since Romania’s accession to the EU. Bucharest responded with protest after the Italian government’s decision to expel migrants. The prime-ministers of both countries have agreed to work together to solve immigration problems with Romanians of mostly Roma origin. They called on the European Union for a policy of inclusion for the Roma.
The prime ministers of Italy and Romania have urged the European Commission to help EU countries cope with the integration of other member states’ citizens - in particular of Roma origin.
In a joint letter to the commission president Jose Manuel Barroso, the centre-left Italian leader Romano Prodi and Romanian liberal leader Calin Popescu-Tariceanu suggested Brussels should do more to deal with EU migration.
“The destination member states don’t have on their own the means to confront the difficulties that face them,” the two leaders wrote on Wednesday (7 October), according to AP agency.
