We have given the travel and subsistence, documents that are recognized by the European Commission. Freedom of movement is therefore possible for all those who have a residence permit and want to do the France. ?

But the France do not.

It is said that he will honor permits only if migrants prove they can financially support themselves.

Lydia Schenardi, Secretary of the National Front, said: "we understand what Italy." But Italy gives European Visa to get rid of migrants in their own country. Migrants will come to the France and other European countries. It is an uncontrolled increase in immigration, and more importantly, they are unemployed workers.

It is a paradox.

These countries any return what they call democracy movements in the Arab world, to the extent of the use of military force to protect the lives of civilians.

But when there are people fleeing the turmoil, they have nowhere to go.

France and the Germany have agreed to implement the joint patrols to the coast of Tunisia to deter potential migrants.
