ROME (ITALPRESS) – Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi met today at the Viminale with Denmark’s Minister for Immigration and Integration Kaare Dybvad Bek.
“Full support,” Piantedosi said, “for the upcoming Danish rotating presidency of the EU, scheduled for the second part of 2025″. “The way forward,” the Viminale official continued, “is the one outlined in the letter, of which Denmark was one of the main promoters, that we addressed together with 13 other member states to the European Commission. In this sense, we should create the legal and operational conditions so that it is possible to carry out repatriations also in third countries close to those of origin of the immigrants, but also work for the creation of real hubs for repatriations in third countries.”
“We need to work at the European level,” Minister Piantedosi concluded, “to increase the rate of returns, and we look forward to the proposed Return Regulation and, in particular, the content of Article 17, which opens the way to the possibility of making agreements with third countries to establish return hubs.
