Italy to receive refugee funding from EU

Written By Unknown on Rabu, 09 Oktober 2013 | 19.51

ITALY is set to receive 30 million euros ($A43.54 million) from the European Union to help in caring for refugees, the head of the bloc's executive announced during a visit to the southern island of Lampedusa.

"We will work together with Italian authorities to alleviate the difficulties of refugees on the ground," European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said on Wednesday.

The funds could be used "to refurbish and raise the standard" of an overcrowded migrant reception centre on the tiny island, EU Home Affairs Commissioner Cecilia Malmstrom said.

Prime Minister Enrico Letta, who escorted EU officials to Lampedusa, said the hundreds of migrants who died in a shipwreck last week would be given a state funeral and apologised for Italy's "shortcomings" in facing the tragedy.
