Italy is offering in Libya and in Tunisia alternatives to crossing the Mediterranean, with voluntary repatriations and assistance - a strategy that has resulted in 8,000 prevented landings, Italian Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi has said in an interview. Meloni added that for her government the Mediterranean region was a priority, and that meant that Italy and Libya needed to work together to make the region work for all concerned.

EU governments rake in €130m per year in rejected visa application fees, dubbed as 'reverse remittances', according to new analysis shared with EUobserver. The total sum is likely to increase in 2024 since the visa application fee to travel to the EU will increase from €80 to €90 for adults on 11 June, following a recent decision by the EU Commission. Over the past year, the EU has begun to use visa restrictions as a political tool, using Article 25a of its 2019 visa code — a provision which allows it to apply visa restrictions for countries with low rates of migrant returns. Although the EU has promised to include legal pathways, student and work exchange programmes, and other mechanisms in its trade deals with African states, the focus of a series of recent economic support agreements with Tunisia, Mauritania and Egypt, worth over €8bn has been paying these governments to tighten migration control. read more
