If Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte was pleased with the agreement reached in Brussels with the Recovery Fund, this time the government will probably not be equally enthusiastic about it. European Pact on Immigrants prepared by the European Commission.
l ‘Italy indeed, he hoped that the text, which will now be submitted to the European Parliament, would include theobligation to relocate migrants landed in all EU member states, this is a way of not putting all the weight on the shoulders of the first landing countries.
In the pact that the Commission has just approved there is a kind of compulsory redistribution system, but a country may refuse migrant relocation if later it contributes to repatriation.
“A state can choose whether to participate in reception or repatriation“Explained the Swede during the presentation conference. Ylva johansson, European Commissioner for Home Affairs.
Migrants: no obligation to move to Europe
Basically, after months of negotiations and Italy’s hopes of actually seeing him overcome Dublin Convention, here’s the cold shower: if a country decides not to accept relocations, nothing will happen to it.
However, the facilities seemed to be better, given that Ursula von der Leyen had written as “the current system no longer worksThis time, however, in the long negotiations in Brussels, Italy would appear to be defeated.
This is what the pact conceived by Palazzo Berlaymont offers: if a country does not want to welcome the established number of migrants in its country, it will take over (financially) the repatriation of a part of these.
A Member State that rejects relocation will have this eight months organize the repatriation of the migrant, who in the meantime will remain in the country of first landing. Once this period has elapsed, it must accept migrants who have not been repatriated within its borders.
Therefore, what is mandatory is only solidarity, with Europe that wants to strengthen external borders and accelerate in repatriationsbut what about me relocations There will be no automatic mechanism: this time von der Leyen, despite his good intentions, did not give Italy a hand.
