(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). (ANSA-AFP).
