Amid a big spat between Italy and France

(ANSA) - ROME, NOV 11 - President Sergio Mattarella on Friday called for shared migrant choices with the EU amid a big spat between Italy and France over a migrant boat that was refused entry by Rome for three weeks and ended up in Toulon, spurring Paris to stop 3,500 relocations from Italy and urge the rest of the EU to do the same. On the issue of migrants, "shared choices by the European Union are needed", said Mattarella in a speech at Maastricht marking the 30th anniversary of the signing of the treaty that set up the Union.
