It is a serious issue and, let me be clear, Europe s answers so far have not been good enough,  Renzi said in an interview published in the Corriere della Sera daily. The EU is having difficulty getting consensus for its proposed migrant distribution plan -- under which 24,000 refugees would be taken by other countries -- but Italy is hoping an EU summit on 25 June will go even further.  Redistributing just 24,000 people is almost a provocation,  Renzi said.  If Europe chooses solidarity, good.

Over 57,000 migrants and asylum seekers have been rescued at sea and brought to Italy so far this year, up from 54,000 at the same time last year, he said.
