As it continues to expel hundreds of Roma back to Romania and Bulgaria, Paris has decided to organise a summit on immigration for September 6, reports the EUobserver. Invitees includes interior ministers from Germany, Italy, Spain, the UK and Greece. “But the list is notable for who is not on it,” the Brussels based news site notes. “Neither Romania or Bulgaria have been invited - the destination for Roma currently being deported from France.” The summit has been publicised by Italy's interior minister Roberto Maroni of the immigrant baiting Northern League Party, who has said that "if anything, it's time to go a step further". Further steps include “the mandatory expulsion of EU citizens who cannot sustain themselves financially”, EUobserver reports.
