Italy furious with Malta and EU

Along with the Italian island of Lampedusa, the Maltese Archipelago has become a favoured destination for hundreds of Africans fleeing the fighting in Libya. But on arrival, what they see of Europe is an unsanitary hangar where they vainly wait for political asylum. French news website Mediapart reports. 
Sea patrols mounted by the border security agency Frontex and controversial collaboration with Libya have begun to show results: fewer migrants are crossing the Mediterranean to enter Europe. However, new routes are opening up and prompting fresh crises elsewhere. 
The international job fair for health professionals, which opens today in Bucharest, is an opportunity for countries in need of doctors, such as the United Kingdom, France, Austria, the Netherlands and Sweden, to fill health service vacancies — and they have the means to offer wages and working conditions that are far beyond the scope of Romania"s health budget. 
Forty years ago, Muammar Gaddafi took power in Libya. Since then, Europe has vacillated between a desire to cosy up to an oil rich business partner, and hostility towards a "rogue state," which is suspected of financing terrorism. At present, Libya — which makes use oil contracts to coerce other countries into submitting to a range of humiliations including, the presentation of official apologies, and the payment of damages — rules the diplomatic roost. 
The recent drowning in the Mediterranean of 73 Eritrean migrants has highlighted the need for a new European immigration policy. In the course of its mandate at the helm of the European Union, Sweden is planning to harmonize national legislation on asylum rights.
