Germany will not be taking in migrants from Italy under a voluntary solidarity pact until further notice, the country’s interior ministry said on Wednesday.
This was meant to alleviate the situation in Italy, which is one of the EU’s main entry points for migrants.
The decision had been taken due to “the currently high migratory pressure on Germany,” a spokesperson for the interior ministry told German newspaper WELT.
This pressure is in part caused by Italy’s refusal to take back migrants from Germany in line with the so-called Dublin regulations, according to the ministry.
Italy has the highest number of so-called ‘irregular’ migrants into the EU – people who often risk their lives crossing the Mediterranean by boat.
The Italian coastguard reported on Wednesday that 5,000 people had reached the Island of Lampedusa in a single day.
