Not only that: it condemned the countries on the front line to take on the critical issues of management while the rest of Europe remained watching for twenty years. Or a little more. A first step to lighten the system took place exactly one year ago, with the Malta agreement which however showed its limits as a voluntary redistribution pact among a few European countries. It was not enough, it was not enough and above all it did not go beyond those rules, born in turn from the evolution of the 1997 Dublin Convention, which member states have been trying for years to reform, wrapping up one draft after another.
