Italy offers the prospect of taking back refugees: Federal Councilor Elisabeth Baume-Schneider. (archive image)

Justice Minister Elisabeth Baume-Schneider (59) met Italian Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi (60) on Wednesday during a working visit to Rome. As the Federal Ministry of Justice and Police (FDJP) later announced, Baume-Schneider expressed understanding for the difficult migration situation in Italy.

However, she pointed out that the unilateral suspension of Italy’s readmission of asylum seekers since December 2022 poses “a delicate political challenge”. This weakens the Dublin system and European asylum policy. Applicable law must be observed.

Italy scraps EU refugee policy

Since last December, Italy has refused to take back refugees whose asylum claims it is responsible for under the Dublin Convention. With this, Italy appears to be violating EU law. The country has no absorption capacity, the right-wing populist government of Giorgia Meloni (46) justifies the Italian position. Italy thus scratches the main principle of EU refugee policy.

Switzerland is currently unable to repatriate around 320 people, although Italy would be responsible as the country of entry under the Dublin Agreement. In about 70 cases, responsibility has now passed to Switzerland because six months have passed.

According to the FDJP, Interior Minister Piantedosi said Italy is working to increase accommodation capacity. Depending on the situation, it could take back refugees under Dublin rules in the coming months.
