Libra ship departed from near the island of Lampedusa with 16 male migrants
ROME - Italy is transporting a first group of migrants to Albania aboard a navy ship, a source close to the matter said on Monday, activating a controversial plan to process thousands of asylum-seekers abroad.
The source, who asked not to be named, said the Libra ship had departed from near the island of Lampedusa with 16 male migrants who were rescued at sea on Sunday. Ten were from Bangladesh and six from Egypt -- both deemed safe countries by Italy. At present there are 21 such nations on the Italian list. Last year, 56,588 migrants arrived in Italy from just four of them -- Bangladesh, Egypt, Ivory Coast and Tunisia.Under the terms of the Albania accord, up to 36,000 migrants can be dispatched to the Balkan nation each year, so long as they come from the list of safe countries, which severely limits the possibility of them obtaining asylum.
Ruling on a separate case involving the Czech Republic, the Court said a country outside the bloc cannot be declared safe unless its entire territory is deemed free of danger.
