06/08/2001 (Agence Europe) - The German and Italian Home Affairs Ministers spoke out over the weekend in favour of the setting up of a European anti-riot police. Following a one-to-one meeting in Imperia, German Minister Otto Schily declared, according to AFP, that it was "important" that a "file of dangerous people capable of disturbing public order (…) should be set up, be it at European or national level, and that it go together with information exchange". Italian Minister Claudio Scajola backed these words. While acknowledging that "many people who arrived from Germany" for the G8 Summit in Genoa "did not always behave well", Schily also stressed that "certain German citizens suffered treatment at the hands of the police that in some cases did not fully comply with the rule of law". Still regarding the violent protests at large summits, Italy called on the UN Agency for food and agriculture, the FAO that it organise its next November's summit in Africa and not in Rome, as planned. Italian Foreign Minister Renato Ruggeiro said that government had considered such a possibility before the G8 in Genoa.
