The agreement that allows Italy to set up reception centers in Albania for thousands of migrants arriving by sea does not violate the European Union law that applies in this case, the EU's top migration official, Ylva Johansson, said today.

The deal, which was announced last week, has drawn criticism from human rights groups and prompted comparisons with the British government's plans to send asylum seekers to Rwanda, which Britain's High Court ruled illegal. illegal.

"According to a preliminary assessment of our legal team, the agreement between Italy and Albania does not violate the law of the European Union, it is not outside the legal framework of the EU", said the Commissioner for Migration in the European Union, Johansson, in a press conference, in Brussels.

Her statements hinted that the deal could not be appealed to the European Court of Justice.

Italy plans to set up two reception centers in Albania next spring, one to verify the migrants' records and the other to house them while their asylum claims are processed in Italy.

The centers will operate under Italian jurisdiction, with Italian personnel, but in Albanian territory.

It remains unclear how the agreement will be implemented, as it is the first of its kind.

Commissioner Johansson said that "European Union law is not applicable outside the territory of the European Union, but Italian law is", but without clarifying how this complies with Italy's obligations as a member state of the European Union.
