While EU Internal Affairs Council An agreement was reached between the 27 states to pass the two legislative packages border procedures and on the asylum management. The regulations are included in the catalog of measures New migration pact. With the consent of the member states, the Council established its own negotiating mandate: A common position must be found with the co-legislators for the final OK European Parliament. “Italy has a great responsibility and has found correspondence from other countries. There is a possibility of reaching agreements with third countries,” commented the Minister of the Interior Matteo Piantedosi.

The last knot was to find a satisfactory text to define
Safe Third Countrieswhere it will be possible to send migrants who are not granted asylum.

Piantedosi: “This is a beginning, not the end” “We have tried to make the border procedures workable, a process which we believe must continue. We believe that it is a day when something begins and not just a day of arrival,” continued Piantedosi.

“Italy will not be the collection point for EU migrants The minister avoided the hypothesis that Italy and all first-arrival member states “were paid to keep irregular migrants on their territory”. Italy will not be the gathering place for immigrants on behalf of Europe. We have managed to obtain a legal frame of reference for possible arrangements with safe third countries and we have avoided imposing restrictions that would have excluded some countries.”

Possibility of agreements with third countries “We wanted the formulation of texts that would weaken the possibility of concluding agreements with third countries not to be adopted, always in the implementation of the projection on the external dimension,” continued Piantedosi. “It is a compromise that does not violate the international legal framework.” The member state decides with which countries it concludes agreements.

Metsola: “Let’s start negotiations immediately” The agreement of the member states on the new migration rules is “good news”, said the President of the European Parliament, Roberta Metsola. The European Parliament “welcomes this turnaround and stands ready to start negotiations immediately in order to reach an agreement before the end of the mandate. We can find a way to move forward.”

Johansson: “We showed that we can work together” “Confidence in the council has been restored over the years. That’s why you can manage difficult negotiations and find a compromise,” said EU Home Affairs Commissioner Ylva Johansson. “We have shown that it is possible to work together on migration and when we do that we are much stronger.”
