[Brief notes on the evolution of the legal position of immigrants from outside the European Community in Italy in 1995-1996].

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 250000 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)
