European Union foreign ministers will gather today for a two-day informal meeting in Luxembourg, where Italy, France and Germany are expected to seek an overhaul of laws on the right of asylum and a fairer distribution of migrants throughout the bloc. A document signed by the three countries and addressed to EU's foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini says the current migrant crisis has "clearly shown the limits and defects" of the rules on asylum, and that they need to be re-assessed. The document calls for a "strong response to the crisis" that has seen a huge influx of migrants to the EU.
