EU Commission: efforts 'ongoing' over Italian migrant ship
By EUobserver
The European Commission said Tuesday that "efforts are ongoing" with regards to Italy's request to find member states that would be willing to host the 177 migrants aboard an Italian coast guard vessel that rescued them last week. Italy's government on Monday allowed the ship to dock in Catania after a row with Malta. Italy said the migrants will be kept on the ship until the EU finds a solution.
