As Italy refuses to let migrants disembark from a Coast Guard ship and Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini threatens to resign over the row, the EC has called for an emergency meeting on Friday, 24 August.

Though no concrete decision are expected, the European Commission hopes the meeting leads to a member state agreeing to take in the people onboard the Diciotti.
