Frontex says would do same again on Cutro

(ANSA) - ROME, MAY 23 - EU border agency Frontex said Tuesday it would have acted in the same way again over a February 26 migrant shipwreck that left 94 confirmed dead at Cutro in Calabria.
    That night, Frontex did not flag the boat as posing a potential wreck risk, before smugglers eluded tax police boats and the Italian coast guard was not called out ahead of the disaster.
    "I know it will sound like a strong statement, but if we had the same information today that we had then we would behave in exactly the same way. We can only assess the situation based on the information we have we cannot send a message for every boat we see'," said Frontex Executive Director Hans Leijtens in a hearing at the European Parliament's Justice Committee on the Cutro shipwreck debate.
