Romanian officials are waiting anxiously for the Italian authorities to issue their first expulsion orders. Under a new decree, EU member-states will be permitted to deport fellow member-state citizens, believed to be a danger to society. Italy to expel Romania criminals The expected expulsions follow a series of crimes in Italy blamed on Romanians. Prime Minister Calin Popescu Tariceanu on Friday expressed his deepest regret over the killing in Rome of a 47-year-old woman, allegedly by a Romanian man, and pledged his full support to the Italian authorities. The woman was raped and beaten earlier in the week, by a man in his mid-20s, who has been arrested in connection with the crime. Tariceanu also said his government will take prompt and serious action to tackle the problem of crime committed in Italy by Romanian migrants. Around 500,000 Romanians are officially registered as living in Italy, but unofficial estimates put the actual number at double that figure or perhaps even more. EU citizens, including from newest members Romania and Bulgaria, are allowed to travel freely across the 27-member bloc’s internal borders, but Italy issued earlier this week a decree which grants extended powers of expulsion to local authorities. Under the decree, police would be given the authority to expel EU citizens considered dangerous to society, and those who returned illegally could be jailed for up to three years. No trial would be necessary before an expulsion, and reasons for ordering them could include past criminal convictions. Rome has said the measures are permitted under European Union rules.
