The German government said
Friday that progress has been made in talks with Rome aimed at
reaching an agreement on the return of migrants who have made
secondary movements within the EU.
"We have gone a long way forward in the negotiations and we
believe that we will reach an agreement with Italy," said German
interior ministry spokesperson Eleonore Petermann.
Chancellor Angela Merkel recently said it would take time to
reach a deal with Italy on the return of migrants, adding she
was ready to discuss the issue with Premier Giuseppe Conte if
necessary.
Petermann said Friday that a dead on this issue has been
reached with Greece, days after the signing of a similar
agreement with Spain.
