"EU's Migration Reforms Stalled as Italy Slows Down Compromise"

Italy has delayed the final decision on the EU's migration reform, despite Germany agreeing to a compromise. The delay has dashed hopes of reaching a deal by the end of the day, but EU officials remain optimistic that an agreement will be reached in the coming days. Italy has requested more time to examine the proposal from a legal standpoint. The reform aims to address the handling of asylum seekers during spikes in migration and has been a topic of discussion for almost 10 years. Without Italy's support, any agreement is politically impossible.
