How would Italy's idea for a new EU migrant distribution system work?

 

Italy's new government is pushing for an automatic system for distributing migrants rescued in the Mediterranean between European countries

 

 

AFP/The Local

12 September 2019

13:03 CEST+02:00

 

 

The plans already have the green light from France and Germany, which would take a much higher percantage of migrants than Italy, Italian media said Thursday.

 

The plan could also involve Luxembourg, Malta, Portugal, Romania and Spain, La Repubblica and La Stampa dailies said.

 

Such a deal would put an end to case-by-case negotiations over who will take those saved during the perilous crossing from North Africa, which have left vulnerable asylum seekers trapped in limbo at sea for lengthy periods.

 

Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte is expected to discuss the plan with France's President Emmanuel Macron when the latter visits Rome next week.

 

It will then be studied in more detail at a meeting of interior ministers on September 23 in Malta, ahead of a European summit in October in Luxembourg.

 

"There is great willingness to immediately reach even a temporary accord on the redistribution of migrants, which can then be fine tuned," Conte said Wednesday during a visit to Brussels to meet European Commission head Ursula von der Leyen.

 

He suggested EU countries that decline to take part could suffer financial penalties.

 

The Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia have refused in the past to take in any of those rescued at sea.

 

The automatic distribution system would be a temporary solution ahead of a revision of the so-called "Dublin regulation", which assigns responsibility for migrants to the nation of first entry.

 

France and Germany were each willing to receive 25 percent of people plucked from flimsy dinghies in the Mediterranean, Repubblica said.

 

Italy would take in 10 percent - a lower proportion because it has already hosted tens of thousands of new arrivals, it said.

 

Should the deal take off, Rome would agree to reopen its ports to vessels which save migrants at sea, reversing a hardline stance taken by the country's ex-interior minister Matteo Salvini last year.

 

Under the new laws, ships that enter Italian waters without authorization face a fine of up to €1 million. The ships can also be seized.

To me and millions of Italians that was the best thing ever happened lately...As that was the most right-wing Gov't we happened to have here since the 2nd WW

Rip-off in Rome: Japanese tourists slapped with €430 ($473) bill for fish and spaghetti

 

The under fire restaurant owners in Rome have defended themselves by saying “our menu is clear, they even ordered the fresh fish”

Two Japanese tourists who were dining in the Italian capital in early September were charged an eye-watering €429.80 for two plates of fish wrapped in spaghetti and just water for drinks.

 

The bill, which has gone viral since the disgruntled tourists shared it on travel advice website Tripadvisor, shows how the total for food and drink came to €349,80, with an equally steep compulsory tip or service charge of €80.

 

The restaurant in question is Antico Caffè di Marte near the famous Castel Sant'Angelo (known as Hadrian's Tomb in English) in central Rome.

 

It gets a “terrible” rating overall on TripAdvisor, with foreign customers referring to it with the words “scam”, “a rip-off”, “sharks, be warned” and “disgusting thievery”.

 

Faced with a storm of criticism, its owners told Italian daily Corriere de la Sera that their “menu is clear, the reason they (the Japanese tourists) paid that price is because they not only ordered the spaghetti but also the fish that was fresh.

 

“The customers chose it at the counter themselves.”

 

But another angry customer who shared an equally expensive bill wrote on TripAdvisor that the restaurant had more than doubled the weight of seafood and fish he actually ordered and blatantly overcharged him. 

 

In recent years Italy has made international headlines for the number of cases of tourists getting ripped off by extortionate restaurants.

 

These include the €81 paid for two burgers and three coffees in Rome, a €1,100 meal for four at a restaurant in Venice, a single cone of ice cream that cost €25 in Florence and a €42 check for three gelati and some water near the Trevi Fountain in the Italian capital.

 

Fortunately, local authorities have started handing out their own bills to the rip-off restaurants in the form of fines, such as in the case of the Venice ‘ristorante’ mentioned above, which had to pay more than €10,000 in penalties for overcharging and other irregularities.

 

“What happened to these Japanese tourists is very serious and greatly damages the image of Rome’s restaurateurs," Claudio Pica, head of the Italian Federation of Public and Tourist Traders Fiepet-Confesercenti, told Il Corriere.

 

“We ask that Rome’s police and tourist police intervene and make them pay a high penalty such as losing their license or face criminal charges.”

That's of course a squalid thievery by the resturant manager...But I noticed the victims are most always Japanese tourists....
