MIGRATION - Italy / Return procedure: Q&A
Thank you all of David Carretta radio radical again it's on, migration if I may,
the Italian government is introducing a new rule according to which the lawyer of migrants will be paid.
A bonus of €615 if they are able to convince. The person, the migrant.
To voluntary return in its country or in another country,
I'm not asking you a comment on on on this rule.
Because I know that you will not comment until it's formally adopted,
but I would like to know if such type of rules are allowed in the European Union and it's according to EU legislation since.
Prima facie, it's quite against the right to to have a defense. Thanks, David. Thanks for the question. We have seen the reports.
We do not comment on ongoing legislative procedures and we also,
I can also not comment on that type of rules in general.
We'll have to look at what it is, and then I can comment. Thank you, Markus. Follow up, David. Markus, can you, can you remind us. Which writes. Migrants could benefit.
According to the EU legislation, if having a lawyer which is independent, it's one of these rights. Thank you.
As a matter of fact,
individuals subject to return procedures have a right to an effective remedy as guaranteed by Article 47 of the EU Charter.
Thank you very much for that clear answer, Markus.
Other questions for Markus, I don't see hands raised in the room.
Federica, I see your hand line, is it for Markus?
