Second Swiss contribution, migration framework credit: agreement with Italy signed
On 17 May in Rome, Switzerland and Italy signed an agreement on the implementation of projects under the second Swiss contribution to the migration framework credit. The agreement was signed by State Secretary Christine Schraner Burgener and the Italian head of cabinet of the Ministry of the Interior, Maria Teresa Sempreviva, and entered into force on 15 July 2024.
CHF 20 million has been earmarked to fund the accommodation and care of unaccompanied minor asylum seekers in Italy. This is a further Swiss contribution to addressing migration in Europe. Switzerland and Italy would also like to work more closely together on migration issues within this framework, in particular on accelerated asylum procedures.
