Jonce asylum seekers reach Europe, it is very difficult to deport them. Even if they are economic migrants who are not entitled to protection in the European Union states. EU member states succeed in deporting only about a fifth of rejected asylum seekers. The others continue to stay in Europe – illegally. Italy has now concluded an agreement with Albania that is to fundamentally change that. Other countries such as Germany and Austria are also considering similar contracts.
Italy will be able to send 36,000 asylum seekers a year to special camps in Albania.
