Interior Minister Marco Minniti said
Wednesday that the debate about the new code of conduct for NGOs
involved in rescuing asylum seekers in the Mediterranean is
over. NGOs have criticised the code, an Italian proposal adopted
by the EU that, among other things, forbids NGO vessels entering
Libyan territorial waters. "We proposed it, but first we
discussed it in parliament and then in Europe," Minniti told a
joint session of the Senate's defence and foreign affairs
committees. "At a certain point the discussions end".
