For NGOs to act when rescuing migrants, “order is required, a cooperation framework – he underlined -. We need dialogue between the states concerned, commitment, an orderly system. The EU Commission does not have the legal competence to create a pan-European code, but it is quite possible that it will help the states concerned to develop a set of rules so that we do not get into the situation that has led to this difficult crisis “.
Schinas then remarked: “We do not improvise: international law obliges the member states responsible for the Sar zone in international waters to do what is necessary, ie save lives, they land in their ports and record their status. Now we have 20 very concrete concrete actions that they will not allow these situations to happen again and we all know what needs to be done. Hopefully when we come The Migration Pact there will also be a legitimacy anchored in European law, because now we are acting ad hoc, nothing is written there”.
Paris had arrived at the Council and was making the point: If Rome does not ensure access to the ports, there will be no resettlement. After the storm, however, the clouds appear to be clearing. In fact, the goal was broader, namely to bring migration back to the forefront of the agenda and seek an agreement ending Dublin. “It went well,” the interior minister assured Matteo Piantedosi.
No applications were made to Italy instead, future strategies were discussed. Here, then, there are significant opportunities to “carry out interventions funded directly by the EU that can prevent exits and strengthen return mechanisms” in order to act on the external dimension of the borders repeatedly invoked by the Italian government.
Even though Spain came up with the idea of hotspots in Africa“It could distract us from our obligations under international and humanitarian law,” Madrid said. Then they agreed on the “need to establish, within a framework agreed at EU level, certain rules for subjects, including private individuals, operating in the Mediterranean”. This is the code for NGOs.
The meeting was indeed dependent on the needs of France and Italy, but that doesn’t mean that something else wasn’t discussed as well. The fears about them Balkan route, where the numbers are higher than in the central one, for example, and for this reason the Commission will present an ad hoc plan shortly. Other countries such as Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands have expressed their grievances about secondary migration.
The Czech Interior Minister Vit Rakusan, as acting EU President, then warned that it was “necessary to prepare for a new influx of Ukrainian refugees“. Here the question is different, but everything is correct, since so far the greatest efforts on this front have been made by the eastern countries, which are traditionally deaf to any requests for solidarity from the south.
That argues Ylva Johansson, Commissioner for Home Affairs “The Voluntary Mechanism for Redistribution of Migrant Works” and now “the speed must be increased”. In the future, when the new pact prepared by the Commission will replace the Dublin Treaty, a senior diplomatic source stresses that ‘solidarity’ must become legally binding, as must ‘responsibility’ (to save lives) now. The Council seems to have come out in favor.
the same on Operations in Sar Zones (i.e. at sea). They cannot be viewed in the same way as the earths. In short, the car moves. The next meeting is already fixed, on 8./9. December back in Brussels. But there is already speculation about bringing the issue to the table of heads of state and government at the pre-Christmas summit. “Italy – government sources assure – is aware that today’s meeting marks the beginning of an important common process within the EU to define and implement effective tools to jointly manage the phenomenon of migration.”
