Judges at the Luxembourg-based court will rule on the case within the next month.
The decision of the European Court of Justice on migrant camps in Albania, based on the Rama-Meloni agreement, is expected to be issued in May.
It was Italian judges who referred the case to the European Court of Justice, following the entry into force of the agreement that provided for the transfer of migrants caught in Italian waters to the Gjadri camp. In this camp, the migrants would await a decision on their asylum applications.
Three groups of immigrants who were transferred to Albania have returned to Italy after the Court of Rome considered the decision to accommodate them in Gjadra illegal, pending proceedings.
The Advocate General of the European Court of Justice (ECJ) will present on Tuesday the conclusions of the joint legal cases concerning the protocol between Italy and Albania for the rapid processing of asylum seekers in centers run by Italians in the country outside the EU and the determination of safe countries for repatriation.
Judges at the Luxembourg-based court will then rule on the case within the next month.
The decision is expected between late May and early June, ANSA reports.
Italian judges have so far refused to uphold the detention of the first three groups of asylum seekers returned to Albania in October and November, as well as last month, referring their cases to the European Court of Justice - which had ruled on October 4 that an applicant could not undergo a fast-track procedure that could lead to their repatriation if their country of origin was not considered completely safe.
The countries of origin in the cases, Bangladesh and Egypt, were not judged to be completely safe throughout their territory and for all categories of citizens.
The government has tried to overcome this obstacle with a measure listing 19 safe countries for repatriation.
They included Bangladesh and Egypt.
However, after the decree was adopted in December, Italian judges asked the ECJ which parameter should be used to determine safety and whether the principle of primacy of EU law should prevail if a conflict with Italian legislation arises.
While temporarily affirming the Italian government's priority for establishing safe places for the repatriation of migrants from new processing centers in Albania, the High Court of Cassation in December said that the case should await the expected decision by the European Court of Justice. /Pamphlet/
