- ROME, NOV 8 - Deputy Premier and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani on Wednesday dismissed assertions that the agreement the Italian government signed with Tirana this week to set up centres in Albania to manage migrants is unlawful.

"The agreement signed with the Albanian State complies with all EU laws," Tajani told reporters at the end of a G7 Foreign Ministers' meeting in Tokyo. "It aims to... make sure that people who have not complied with the rules and do not have the right to enter Italy can be taken back to their countries of origin." The European Commission has said it has requested more information about the details of the agreement.

On Tuesday Democratic Party leader Elly Schlein said that the agreement"seems in open breach of international and European law". "People who are rescued at sea by the Italian authorities, including those seeking refuge in Europe, are under Italian jurisdiction and cannot be transferred to another State before their asylum requests and individual situations are examined," Amnesty said. .
