The general framework for the partnership between the EU and Algeria is set out in the Association Agreement[1] signed in 2002, which covers a large number of cooperation sectors.
The EU has not concluded any agreement with Algeria on the readmission of Algerian nationals in irregular situation in the EU territory nor on the management of irregular migration from third countries.
The EU and Algeria have agreed to cooperate to support the assisted voluntary return and reintegration in their countries of origin of migrants stranded in Algeria through a programme implemented by the International Organisation for Migration.
Algeria has not sent a request to the Commission to support/finance projects aimed at securing the border with Tunisia and there are no ongoing discussions/reflection on this subject.
