European Parliament President Antonio Tajani has called for the EUto setup refugee reception centers in Libya and to implement aMarshall Plan for Africa in order to curb migration to the bloc, Die Zeit reportedMonday.

The Libyan centers should not become concentration camps, but should have adequate equipment to ensurerefugees live in dignified conditions with access tosufficient medical care, Tajani said.

The Marshall Plan, inspired by U.S.financial support for the rebuilding of Western European countries after the end of World War II, should fund the launch of an education initiative, develop modern agriculture and set up joint ventures with two or more partners.

We either act now or 20 million Africans will cometo Europe in the coming years, Tajani said.
