By Angelo Amante Italy set to adopt decree to overrule court objections on Albanian migrant campsROME, - Italy's government was set to adopt on Monday a decree aimed at overruling court objections to its flagship plan to set up migrant detention camps in Albania to deter sea arrivals from North Africa. The court based its verdict on a recent ruling by the European Court of Justice on a case involving the Czech Republic, which said a country outside the EU cannot be declared safe unless its entire territory is deemed free of danger. "The conflict with the European law - which is superior to the national legislation - remains ... unless Italy wants to say European sources are not binding on this matter," he told Reuters.
