罗马，10月16日 - 意大利政府一名消息人士周五表示，意大利已将其暂停与西班牙之间欧盟无边境旅行安排的措施再延长一周，此前7月下旬西班牙北非飞地休达出现移民涌入。
ROME, Oct 16 - Italy has extended by another week its suspension of the European Union's border-free travel arrangements with Spain over a surge in migrant arrivals in Ceuta in late July, an Italian government source said on Friday.
一名西班牙政府发言人表示，两国内政部长将在未来一周内就取消边境管制开展工作。
A Spanish government spokesperson said the interior ministers of both countries would work over the coming week on lifting the border controls.
意大利此次最新延期与马德里采取的反制措施一致，西班牙此前已将其与罗马之间的申根协定暂停期延长至10月22日。
The latest extension by Italy aligns with the countermeasure taken by Madrid, which recently extended its own Schengen suspension with Rome until October 22.
意大利于7月31日首次暂停与西班牙之间的申根协定安排，这是针对超过7.2万名移民从邻国摩洛哥涌入西班牙北非飞地休达的边境冲击而采取的应对措施，意大利此后已多次延长该措施。
Italy first suspended Schengen arrangements with Spain on July 31, in response to a border rush by more than 72,000 migrants into Spain's North African enclave of Ceuta from neighbouring Morocco, and has repeatedly prolonged the measure.
罗马认为，西班牙领土上存在数千名非法移民，对内部安全构成重大风险，并可能构成恐怖分子渗透的潜在威胁。
Rome has argued the presence of thousands of illegal migrants in the Spanish territory posed significant risks to internal security and represented a potential threat of terrorist infiltration.
马德里将意大利的行动描述为“不公正、违背欧盟利益，并对西班牙人口构成歧视”。
Madrid has described Italy's actions as "unjust, contrary to European Union interests, and discriminatory to the population of Spain".
西班牙政府发言人表示，两国内政部长即将举行的会谈是在本周欧洲理事会峰会期间，西班牙首相佩德罗·桑切斯与其意大利同僚乔治亚·梅洛尼在峰会边上交谈之后安排的。
The Spanish government spokesperson said the upcoming talks between the interior ministers followed a conversation between Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez and his Italian counterpart Giorgia Meloni on the sidelines of the European Council summit this week.
意大利政府消息人士仅表示，两国部长将在未来几天探讨两国之间替代性的合作形式。
The Italian government source said only that the ministers would in the coming days explore alternative forms of cooperation between the two countries.
