Chancellor Christian Stocker and the head of the government of Italy Giorgia Meloni took a positive report of joint efforts in the fight against illegal migration on Tuesday during their meeting in Rome. But you also have to “check new ways to tackle an increasingly complex problem,” Meloni emphasized at the joint press conference.
Both countries are directly affected by the migration problem – Italy via the Mediterranean Sea, Austria via the Balkan route. “I want to thank the Chancellor for that. Italy and Austria have worked very well so far – and will do better in the future,” said Meloni.
Stocker: “Italy is a tight ally”
A stronger collaboration with the origin of the migrants and transfer lands and a return policy are urgently necessary, Stocker said. “Austria began to deport Syrians who became delinquently two weeks ago. Further deportations must follow: We have found a legal way to do this. For us, Italy is a narrow ally in migration problems,” Stocker said.
“Reuniant of Europe”
Speaking of Balkan countries: the EU extension in this region is also a subject where there is a harmony between Austria and Italy. From the point of view of the Perspective of the Italian Prime Minister, the EU proceeding process of the Balkans is nothing less than a “reunification of Europe”. “This is a fundamental step – especially in this complex time that we experience. I think Europe should send specific signals to these countries that seriously try to be part of our family and speed up the integration process,” she continued.
Stocker sees the situation comparable. “We have to create a realistic perspective for these countries – not from altruism, but from geopolitical necessity, otherwise the risk of great instability takes place,” Stocker argued.
Document for the future of the signed car industry
On the occasion of his inaugural visit to Rome, the red-white-red head of the government, together with the Italian host, signed a document about the future of the car industry. The subject of energy security is also important. The two countries want to work for the promotion of green hydrogen on the South2 corridor, the 3300 km long corridor, which should reach Midden -Europe via Italy, Austria and Germany.
The subject of South Tyrolean Autonomy was also discussed in Rome. Stocker welcomed that this Tuesday of the entire Tuesday the reform of autonomy will start its parliamentary trial in the Roman representatives of the Roman delegates. So he thanked Meloni for her personal effort on this issue.
