This ‘Horizontal Substitute Impact Assessment of the European Commission’s New Pact on Migration and Asylum’ was requested by the European Parliament’s Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE). The impact assessment focuses on the main proposed changes implied by the European Commission’s New Pact, with a particular focus on the following four proposals: 1) Asylum and Migration Management Regulation (RAMM); 2) Crisis and Force Majeure Regulation; 3) Amended Asylum Procedure Regulation (APR); and 4) Screening Regulation. The horizontal substitute impact assessment critically assesses the ‘system’ and underlying logic of the proposed New Pact with the aim to analyse how the four Commission proposals would work and interact in practice. The impact assessment also assesses whether and to what extent the proposed New Pact addresses the identified shortcomings and implementational problems of the current EU asylum and migration law and policy. Moreover, the impact assessment identifies and assesses the expected impacts on fundamental rights, as well as economic, social and territorial impacts of the proposed New Pact

Este trabajo pretende analizar críticamente el sistema de acogida de los solicitantes de asilo en Italia como dispositivo de “inclusión diferencial” de los migrantes en los confines meridionales de Europa. Para defender este argumento, en primer lugar, analizaremos la evolución y las principales características de ese sistema, además de sus transformaciones más recientes a partir del 2011. En segundo lugar, observaremos que los tres segmentos principales del sistema de acogida pueden hallarse en una escala que va desde la mayor exclusión a la mayor inclusión. En tercer y último lugar, observaremos que también las “mejores prácticas” de acogida presentan un carácter ambivalente que produce una continua tensión entre los dos polos de la acogida y de la integración. This article aims to critically analyze the reception system for asylum seekers in Italy as a device for “differential inclusion” of migrants on the southern edge of Europe. To defend this argument, first, we will analyze the evolution and the main characteristics of this system, as well as its most recent transformations from 2011. Secondly, we will observe that the three main segments of the reception system can be found on a scale that goes from the greatest exclusion to the greatest inclusion. In third and last place, we will observe that the reception “best practices” also present an ambivalent character, producing a continuous tension between the two poles of reception and integration.
