Green light from the Council of Ministers to the Flow Decree, which provides "urgent provisions on the entry into Italy of foreign workers, protection and assistance to victims of caporalato, management of migratory flows and international protection, as well as related judicial proceedings". "The aim of this measure is to open up to regular immigration and have great rigor against illegality, putting back into the framework of respect for the rules a phenomenon as important for our economy as regular immigration," said Deputy Premier and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani. The measures include fingerprinting, inspection of cell phones and the obligation for NGO planes to report sightings. The decree also provides for 10,000 additional entries for caregivers. "To avoid headlines such as 'in the aftermath Nordio-Piantedosi clash at previous Council of Ministers', which I did not attend, although I participated from start to finish in the Council of Ministers, I would not want the headline to be 'encore clash' due to their absence. Minister Nordio is in London for talks with his British counterpart, and Piantedosi, who attended part of the Council of Ministers by videoconference, is in Avellino for the G7 of Interior Ministers. I hope this will be enough but I have no illusions," said Alfredo Mantovano, Undersecretaty to the Presidency of the Council at a press conference at the end of the Council of Ministers. Regarding the decree, the Undersecretary explained that "the click days will be more than one per type of worker, for example agriculture, tourism, domestic work, and this will ensure both that they are broken down by type and that they are scanned throughout the year, with less chaotic management and with less pressure on the IT systems, which will be inter-operational”. Then, on the cell phone screening measure, he specifies, "The sole purpose of cell phone viewing is to ensure the identification of the migrant or, at a minimum, his geographical origin. In the meantime, there is an obligation to cooperate on the part of those who enter Europe and Italy on their identification, given that they enter in a non-regular manner. An obligation that is also expressed by showing the data contained in the mobile device, only those aimed at identification with a ban on access to correspondence and any other form of communication". No amnesty, Mantovano stressed, "because today it would constitute a call effect, and at a time when we want to establish certain rules for new arrivals, there is no need to recall irregular arrivals”.
