"In 1995/96 Italian immigration decrees on the legal status of non-EC citizens have maintained a confused and, in some cases, an unconstitutional character. Government decree n.489/November 1995, issued on the grounds of an alleged emergency, did not succeed in regulating incoming flows for seasonal work and enforcing restrictive measures on illegal immigration. Hopefully, it will manage to clear the position of 250,000 illegal entries. This latter provision is likely to prove a further incentive for illegal immigrants, the...opposite of what the government had in mind." (SUMMARY IN ENG AND FRE) excerpt
