EU asks for more information on Meloni’s move to send asylum seekers to Albania after ‘practically zero notice’ of deal – Europe live

EU wants to discuss implications of deal after Italy announces new migration policy

Swedish ministers sent a letter today to EU institutions calling for strengthening security cooperation and implementing an effective migration returns policy.

Gunnar Strommer, Sweden's minister for justice, together with minister for migration Maria Malmer Stenergard, said it is of utmost importance for the over-arching future security of the EU zone that the EU reaches an agreement on the EU pact on migration and asylum.".

This entails both making more effective work within our own countries and in relation to our cooperation with third countries. More can be done realistically within the legal framework we have today. More discussions on cooperation on returns are necessary.
