Rome, Sha'ban 27, 1436, Jun 14, 2015, SPA -- European Union rules forcing Italy to look after all the boat migrants who land on its territory and stop them moving elsewhere in the bloc must be changed, dpa cited Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi as saying in a Sunday interview. The so-called Dublin II regulation is criticized for putting undue pressure on countries that serve as entry points for EU-bound migrants, such as Italy and Greece. Its prescriptions are often ignored, as many refugees still find their way to northern Europe. "In Europe we must change the principle set by Dublin II," Renzi told the Corriere della Sera newspaper, adding that he had an unspecified "plan B ready" if an upcoming EU summit does not deliver progress on such issues. --SPA 11:55 LOCAL TIME 08:55 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
