Italy is working on a review of the Dublin agreement for a European right to asylum and common rules on repatriation, Foreign Minister Gentiloni has told the Chamber of Deputies. The Minister was speaking during the session on the future of the European Union, on which, he observed, “we have our compass pointing in a federalist direction”. Gentiloni underscored that the plan proposed by the President of the European Commission “is an important result that sanctions the principle of a comment effort that is not simply a ‘one-off’”.
