Speaking in Rome on the 4 July 2014 to launch the Italian EU Presidency, Prime Minister Matteo Renzi vowed to push for a reinforcement of the border control agency and turn it into Frontex Plus. This position was part of Italy's move to push the migratory issue up the political agenda during its presidency of the EU. On the first weekend of July 2014, the country saved more than 2,600 migrants in separate missions of Italy’s “Mare Nostrum” surge and rescue operation. |
