Italy suggests African migrant deportation centers
Italy has proposed to the European Council the creation of centers outside the European Union, particularly in African countries, to return illegal migrants to their home countries. The aim is to speed up deportation procedures and reduce migration flows across the Mediterranean. The candidate countries include Tunisia, Rwanda, Ghana, Senegal, Libya, Mauritania, Egypt, Uganda, Ethiopia, as well as Uzbekistan, Armenia, and Montenegro. The proposal relies on funding from the Union’s budget and is based on implementing the +GSP program, which grants customs privileges to countries that cooperate in readmitting their migrants. This initiative comes amid increasing pressures on Europe due to rising migrant numbers and ongoing discussions around tightening migration policies and strengthening cooperation with countries of origin and transit.
