German Interior Minister
Horst Seehofer said Monday that a deal with Italy on secondary
movements of migrants was ready, pending approved by his
counterpart Matteo Salvini.
"At the level of ministries' technical officials, the
negotiation has been wrapped up," Seehofer was quoted as saying
by DPA.
"The agreement is on Salvini's desk. Now we'll see if what
has been agreed will also be signed".
Seehofer had previously said that an accord is needed so
that asylum seekers already registered in Italy, and therefore
with their fingerprints in the Eurodac database, can be sent
back by Germany within 48 hours.
Germany signed bilateral accords with Spain and Greece
between the end of July and the start of August.
