The planned redistribution of migrants from the EU countries most affected by migration to other countries has not led to the hoped-for results.
“The political declaration by which, in June 2022, 18 EU countries and three Schengen associated countries (Norway, Switzerland and Liechtenstein) committed to setting up a voluntary solidarity mechanism to support the countries most affected by migration from the Mediterranean Sea area. contributions have resulted in the relocation of just 435 people by February 2023, compared to an annual target of 8,000,” the Italian Migrantes Foundation report said.
In 2022, just over 900 asylum seekers and refugees were admitted to EU Member States or “Schengen-associated” countries, two-thirds of whom came from Sweden. The second largest receiving country was Germany with 216 people admitted.
According to information from the Ministry of the Interior in Rome, 153,126 migrants have arrived in Italy since the beginning of 2023 after a sea journey across the Mediterranean Sea. In the comparable period of 2023, 98,126 migrants arrived.
