Dr. Gianni Buquicchio:

At the beginning of the crisis in Italy the Government tried to stop all the flights coming in from China. Many of these people, however, came to Italy via Germany or Switzerland etc. and they could not be identified at the border in Italy. They were Asian but nobody could identify if they were coming from China directly or from another European country. I have said already that I am very much in favour of the harmonisation of the measures surrounding travel at a European level, within Europe and outside. I hope Europe will succeed in this task. It is not easy because each country has its own views and it will not be easy to find a common harmonised solution, but I still hope for this.
