Giorgia Meloni's plan to open migrant camps like the one in Gjadër, Albania, appears to be progressing. After Italian courts ruled against this measure, a key expert from the European Court of Justice has now sided with Meloni. The initial goal of Giorgia Meloni's government to conduct fast-track asylum procedures in Albania is considered a failure. Italian courts deem this unacceptable. Meloni's response was to use the two asylum centers Italy built in Albania instead to detain rejected asylum seekers pending deportation. This form of detention outside Italian territory is also deemed illegal by Italian courts. For this reason, they have referred several cases to the European Court of Justice. Now, the Advocate General of this court has issued his assessment. He is a type of independent expert who, after reviewing the case, provides an opinion on it. Regarding the detention of individuals awaiting deportation, Advocate General Nikolas Emilu from Cyprus assesses that deportation centers outside an EU member state may be permissible. However, the condition is that migrants are guaranteed all the rights required by European Union law. This includes, in particular: legal support from lawyers and interpreters, contact with family and responsible authorities. Children and sick individuals must also have access to education and healthcare services. During the review of an asylum application, the applicant must remain in an EU member state. The Advocate General also addressed a second issue: can asylum seekers whose applications are still under review be detained outside an EU member state, for example in camps in Albania? His assessment is that, in principle, asylum seekers should remain in an EU member state while their applications are being reviewed. However, they do not have an automatic right to return to EU territory if they are already in one of the camps in Albania and are in detention. In any case, their legal protection must be guaranteed in these centers as well. Detention for deportation must be quickly reviewed by courts to avoid any unlawful detention. In many cases, the European Court of Justice follows the recommendations of the Advocate General. However, it is not obliged to follow them and may decide differently. This has happened before in some asylum cases. Therefore, it is possible that the highest judicial instance of the European Union will take a more critical stance toward asylum centers outside the EU. The final decision is expected within a few months.
