(ANSA-AFP) - ROME, FEB 5 - The implementation of a protocol between Rome and Tirana for the fast-track processing of asylum seekers at Italian-run centres in Albania can't compromise the European common asylum system nor negatively impact EU law, the Commissioner for Internal Affairs and Migration Magnus Brunner said on Wednesday.
The implementation of the deal between Italy and Albania "must complement existing access routes to asylum and cannot get in the way of the aims and objectives of EU law in this context, nor harm the rights and guarantees which members States need to grant people in such situations", Brunner wrote in response to a parliamentary inquiry filed by MEPs from the progressive Democratic Party (PD), Green-Left Alliance (AVS) and Five-Star Movement (M5S).
