They discussed the efforts being made by Malta and Italy for the crisis in Libya to be paid more attention by European countries.

Dr Vella praised the Mare Nostrum project and hoped Europe would involve itself more in the issue of irregular migration for the southern European countries not to continue fighting this battle on their own.
