G-8 JUSTICE MINISTERS DISCUSS TERRORISM, INTERNET CRIME AND ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION
Pravda, Russia

Franco Frattini, the European Union's justice and home affairs
commissioner, told reporters that he would propose that each EU and G-8
member state establish a central national unit to prevent cybercrime
in order to create "a real international network of cooperation."
Frattini said he would also discuss new measures to combat illegal
immigration, focusing on the countries where migrants start their
journeys as well as transit countries. He called the black labor market
"the most dangerous pull factor for illegal immigration to Europe."
Frattini said the EU had recently flown its first joint repatriation
flight out of Europe, an Austrian-organized mission to return dozens
of Georgian and Armenian crime suspects to their home countries,
the AP reports.
At the outset of Thursday's meeting, Russian presidential chief of
staff Sergei Sobyanin called illegal immigration a pressing problem
for G-8 member countries.
