(ANSAmed) - ROME, SEPTEMBER 24 - A wish that the agreement between Italy and Libya for joint patrolling in the Libyan territorial waters will be soon reached was expressed yesterday by both Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini and Interior Minister Roberto Maroni. "We expect that it will be reached," Frattini said in New York, reminding that on August 30, on the occasion of the summit between Italian Prime Minister Berlusconi and Libyan Leader Gaddafi, "the commitment to sign this agreement" as soon as possible "was reaffirmed", and that Italy is always ready to offer its patrol boats. "I hope that Libya can accept soon the agreement which envisages the sending of six Italian patrol boats with joint Italian Libyan crew to the coasts of the North African country; it would put an end to the landings on Lampedusa," Maroni, in turn, said during a TV programme. In reference to yesterday's polemics, "I said that when Libya decides, I hope soon, that the patrol boats can enter finally its territorial waters I would like to be aboard, because it is an important moment for the liberation of Lampedusa from this raging pressure," Maroni underlined.
