The Court of Rome rejected Giorgia Meloni's pact with Prime Minister Edi Rama for immigrants, who ordered the refugees in Gjadër to immediately return to Italy.
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni seems to be playing "every stone" so that her pact with Rama on immigrants is not destroyed, while the Italian government has approved a decree which excludes 3 countries from the safe countries.
After the decision of the Court of Rome on the detention of immigrants in Albania and their return to Italy, the Council of Ministers approved a decree law on this matter.
The provision makes the indication of safe places a primary norm. The list will be updated periodically, always by means of an act that has the force of law. The Minister of Justice, Carlo Nordio, said that "The decision of the EU Court is not well understood".
The legal decree aims to overcome the impasse created by the decision of the Court of Rome not to validate the detention of some immigrants in the center of Gjadri in Albania, as they come from unsafe countries. With the new decree, the updated list of safe places drawn up by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs would have the value of a law, Tgcom writes.
Specifically, in the legislative decree approved by the Council of Ministers, the countries for which "territorial exceptions" were foreseen (Cameroon, Colombia and Nigeria) were removed. The new list (safe countries go from 22 to 19) is now included in a provision with the force and effect of law to avoid possible non-applications based on interpretations of the "Reception Directive" (which, inter alia, does not appear " detailed and unconditional", leaving its transposition to individual member states).
Here are the "19 safe places"
The list now consists of countries identified according to the criteria established by European legislation (Article 2 bis of Legislative Decree 25/2008) and by evidence available from information sources provided by competent international organizations: Albania, Algeria, Bangladesh, Bosnia and Herzegovina , Cape Verde, Ivory Coast, Egypt, Gambia, Georgia, Ghana, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Morocco, Montenegro, Peru, Senegal, Serbia, Sri Lanka and Tunisia.
Nordio: "The decision of the EU Court was not well understood"
"The decision of the EU Court was not well understood", explained the Minister of Justice, Carlo Nordio, at the end of the meeting of the Council of Ministers. " The essence of the decision is that the judge must, at the moment when you make a decision, say exhaustively and completely, in the specific case, what are the reasons why that particular place is not considered safe for that individual. This does not appear in the reasons for the decrees at the center of the debate of the last days".
"Only five lines of motivation from the judges"
"Read the ten decrees of the court of Rome and you will see if, excluding the first four pages that have only technical legal premises, the five lines devoted to this motivation are consistent with the five long paragraphs of the sentence," the Minister of Justice further observed .
"There is no evidence that immigrants come from unsafe countries"
"The subjects are of uncertain nationality and declare their origin themselves, they have no documents and there is no evidence that they come from certain countries, which means the transfer of the determination of the security parameters from which they say they arrive at the discretion of these people."
Piantedosi: Stricter system in force from 2026
At the end of the council meeting, the Minister of the Interior also spoke. "We are implementing the European legislation and we are anticipating the entry into force of a more decisive and stricter system. From 2026 - explained Matteo Piantedosi - a regulation will come into force which will even provide for the identification of safe countries with exclusive reference in the percentage of approval of asylum requests at the European level, placing them below 20%".
"High costs for immigrants? 1.7 billion just for the reception"
"Are the expenses for immigrants in Albania too high?", journalists asked the minister. "The adequacy of overall spending needs to be improved: today the Home Office spends 1.7 billion on waiting for people who in 60-70% of cases, and this is a conservative estimate, will see their applications for international protection rejected ", declared Matteo Piantedosi.
"For the transfer of immigrants to Albania - the minister underlined - a navy ship was used, which still has operating costs, it is not that it stays in a garage, and these costs must be deducted from the bill. And the transfers of immigrants that we carry out every day throughout Italy have their cost."
"Decree to avoid evictions"
"The approved legislation serves to solve an old issue: it serves to speed up the procedure, to ensure that the use of the protection request is not widely used to avoid the system of expulsions. In other words, I stay for years blocking the possibility of evaluation at a reasonable time and destined for exclusion", concluded Piantedosi./Taken from Tgcom
