Migrants, Here’s Piantedosi’s Line: Higher Refugee Quotas for Those Fighting Traffickers

Reward refugee home countries that are most opposed to illegal immigration with higher access quotas. The Minister of the Interior, Matteo Piantedosi, thus anticipates to the Chamber, in question period, the guidelines of the next flow decree that the government will adopt until December 31. «With the containment of migratory pressure closely linked to the collaboration of the countries of origin and transit – he explains – the Flussi decree, duly modulated in terms of rewards, can become an important instrument for the recognition of higher access quotas to countries more committed to the fight against irregular immigration while strengthening legal entry channels and it is a mechanism that I personally intend to propose strengthening for the future”. of the next decree with particular reference to the hypothesis of quantification of the relative quotas based on the preventive verification of the availability of the beneficiaries of the basic income.

“The decree – recalled the owner of Viminale – represents only one element of the broader policy of managing the migratory phenomenon implemented by the government and must be understood in a perspective of governing the migratory dynamics with a focus centered on the needs of the labor market and, in a way more generally, the sustainability of reception and immigration”. that will take place today do not in fact concern the latest requests from our country. However, in the preparatory work of the last months, many of the amendment proposals presented by Med5 (Italy, Cyprus, Greece, Malta and Spain) were included, mainly in the responsibility component. Others, however, have not yet been recognized, such as the preferential role of relocation as a principle the instrument of solidarity.

And in today’s council there will only be one point on asylum and migration, which will be dealt with only briefly, as reported by an EU diplomatic source. About 20 minutes are foreseen for this point: not a structured debate on migration and asylum, therefore, but a mere point of view, with reference to the perspectives of the negotiation of the European Pact, which will have to continue under the Swedish Presidency. The Czech Presidency will report on the discussions held at a technical level on the basis of its own document entitled “The Way Forward for EU Migratory Solidarity and the Crisis Response Mechanism”, which outlines some guidelines to reach a possible compromise between the needs of solidarity and responsibility. The document represents a revised and expanded version of the note on the “Way forward” that was presented in September by the Presidency (and which in recent months has also been modified by incorporating the joint requests of Italy in the Med5 area, for example on solidarity, minimum threshold of reallocations to be revised upwards in case of peaks, liabilities and any changes to the Dublin rules to alleviate burdens for first-entry countries).
