Abstract:

The Italy-Albania migration deal, signed in November 2023, introduces a novel model of asylum externalisation that operates under Italian jurisdiction and applies Italian (and potentially EU) law. This deal has been backed by most EU member states as a valuable addition to Europe’s array of externalisation tools. However, it has faced severe criticism from legal experts and civil society for its potential impact on migrants’ fundamental rights. This contribution considers whether the agreement could truly be a ‘model’ for the EU, and aims to explore some of the legal implications of de-territorialising asylum procedures while maintaining the jurisdiction of an EU Member State.
