BRUSSELS, April 19 (Reuters) - EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini urged on Sunday European governments to support action to protect migrants in the Mediterranean, following one of the worst migrant boat disasters over the weekend.
"We have said too many times 'never again'. Now is time for the European Union as such to tackle these tragedies without delay," Mogherini said in a statement. "We need to save human lives all together, as all together we need to protect our borders and to fight the trafficking of human beings."
EU foreign ministers will discuss the issue at a meeting in Luxembourg, Mogherini said.
