The Chamber of Deputies’ Schengen Control Committee has placed a high-profile hearing with under-secretary Alfredo Mantovano on its agenda for Tuesday, 26 November 2025 at 13:30. The session—announced on 24 November—will focus on how the government intends to manage the unprecedented 164,850 non-EU entries slated for 2026 under the new migration-flux decree, and on safeguards at Italy’s internal borders with Slovenia and France.
Mantovano, who coordinates security matters for the Prime Minister’s office, is expected to update lawmakers on the temporary ID checks Rome introduced on the Slovene frontier in 2023 and which currently run until 18 December 2025. Business federations will follow the testimony closely, as a further extension could slow cargo flows through the Trieste corridor and complicate commuter traffic in Friuli-Venezia Giulia.

The committee will also examine the digitalisation of nulla-osta (work-authorisation) filings via the ALI portal and the planned rollout of EU Entry/Exit System (EES) biometric gates at Fiumicino and Malpensa ahead of the 2026 Jubilee year. Companies that relocate staff within the EU should monitor whether Italy links Blue-Card processing to labour-market tests discussed in the hearing.
Minutes of Schengen Committee meetings are published within 48 hours; mobility teams are advised to review the transcript to anticipate any procedural changes before the next “click-day” in February 2026.
