EU reforms also allow more conditions under which irregular migrants can be detained.

Authorities will be authorised to hold those considered at risk of absconding or who pose a security risk.

Detention is also possible “to determine or verify” someone’s identity or nationality.

EU member states backing the camps included Italy , Greece , the Netherlands , Austria , Poland , Romania and Hungary .
