Await ECJ on Albania safe countries says supreme court

Dialogue between jurisdictions, all measures suspended

Redazione Ansa

(ANSA) - ROME, DEC 30 - While provisionally asserting the primacy of Italian ministers on deciding safe countries for migrant repatriation from innovative but controversial new processing centres in Albania, the supreme Court of Cassation on Monday said the matter must await a ruling expected by the European Court of Justice.
    Italian courts have referred he issue to the ECJ after judging that Egypt and Bangladesh were not safe enough for migrants to be returned to, stymying the much trumpeted scheme.
    A recent EU summit hailed the scheme and a previous ruling by the Cassation said it was up to Italy and not a European court to decide on it.
    On Monday the high court said "there must be dialogue between jurisdictions, and all measures are suspended". (ANSA).
