GREEK ACTION PLAN ON ASYLUM AND MIGRATION MANAGEMENT

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The implementation of the Greek Action Plan on Asylum and Migration Management, submitted to the Commission in August 2010, has been speeded up since August 2012. Based upon the experience of the current actions it has been revised. It reflects the current state of affairs and it includes concrete objectives and deliverables in order to ensure fast and significant progress. Thus, this revised Action Plan allows for a concrete picture as regards the degree of implementation and the actual needs of the National authorities.

The EU General Programme Solidarity and Management of Migration Flows (SOLID Funds) could cover a part of identified needs within the limits of available resources and the respective areas of eligibility. For the period of 2011-2013, Greece was allocated with the amount of M 98,6 € for the Return Fund, M 132,8 € for the External Borders Fund and M 19,95 € for the European Refugee Fund.

To be noted that the ERF allocation for 2013 is limited and amounts to M 3,2 €. The Greek allocations under the Return Fund and the External Borders Fund for 2013 are respectively M 35,3 € and M 44 €.

In addition, the possibility to cover some other needs could be explored within the Greek programmes under the EU Structural Funds. However, additional funding will be required from other sources.

The revised Action Plan is been drawn based on two important dimensions: the access to international protection and the establishment of an effective system of border management and returns.

The revised twofold Greek Action Plan on Asylum and Migration Management establishes a new First Reception Service, a new Asylum Service, a new Appeals Authority as well as an effective, humane oriented returns system based on IOM programmes on Assisted Voluntary Return and Reintegration and on forced returns according to various Readmission Agreements with third countries.

Facing the immense challenge of a large flow of irregular migrants in the recent years, the Greek Government has proceeded with the reinforcement of Greece’s external borders, of Europe’s eastern external borders, strengthening the Evros border, implementing electronic surveillance at the Evros border operational centres, completing the border fence and deploying patrol boats to strengthen river patrols. These actions have resulted in a more than 90% decrease of entries of irregular migrants.

The new First Reception Service complemented by the new Asylum Service will manage all irregular migrants who are intercepted on Greek soil. The first one will have the sole task of screening irregular migrants to identify their identity and nationality, to register them, to provide, if needed, medical and psychological support, to inform them on their obligations and rights, especially on their right to seek international protection, while the latter, being independent and operated by civil servants trained by specialists in the field with the cooperation of UNHCR and EASO, will have the sole task of granting asylum or subsidiary protection in a short period of time to all those who are actually eligible for such a status.

Meanwhile, the Greek Government has expedited the old appeals files - the so called backlog - by forming a special task force of 120 cadets who have updated the existing database and archived the non-active cases.

Special care is taken for vulnerable groups, such as unaccompanied minors, single-parent families and migrants with health issues. The Greek Government, in cooperation with IOM Greece will build a network of all key stakeholders that will assist in supporting the establishment of two new reception facilities that will provide care and services to irregular migrants who are especially vulnerable. Complementary to the above measures, reception conditions in the Evros region and the Aegean Islands have been improved, in line with the national, European and International legislation and recommendations.

GREEK ACTION PLAN ON ASYLUM AND MIGRATION MANAGEMENT

In another step forward in view of maximising the strategic planning in the implementation of the Greek Action Plan on Migration and Asylum, the relevant Greek authorities have submitted to the European Commission concrete proposals to enable the Member-States to better target their assistance and proceed rapidly on an exercise matching it with actual needs.

The Greek Government having committed itself to completing the establishment of a Common European Asylum System (CEAS), recalls that solidarity has been an essential component and a guiding principle of the CEAS from the outset, as well as constituting a core principle of EU law according to which Member States must share both advantages and burdens in an equal and lair manner.

GREEK ACTION PLAN ON ASYLUM AND MIGRATION MANAGEMENT

CHAPTER i First Reception

Summary Over the last ten years Greece experienced a sharp rise of irregular migration. The first reception and asylum systems were congested by vast numbers of mixed migratory flows and asylum applications. The unprecedented numbers of irregular migrants entering Greece affected both the Greek society and the first reception and granting of international protection functioning.

As a response to this situation and based upon practices already applied in other E.U. countries, Greece legislated law No 3907/2011 establishing the First Reception Service for an effective and humane management of third-country nationals illegally entering the country, respecting their dignity, by subjecting them to first reception procedures.

The First Reception Service (FRS) is responsible,for the overall management of illegal border crossings of third country nationals entering the country or arrested on Greek soil. Following illegal entry, the task of FRS is to provide information to migrants, operate screening procedures in order to identify vulnerable groups and asylum seekers, offer medical care when needed and/or refer to hospitals, provide psychosocial support etc. V>; Among others, FRS is mainly aiming at:

■ Specially trained personnel (initial and on-going training has been planned). " Close cooperation with NGOs (which will be active within the centres, performing specific functions). ■ Informing migrants of their rights, especially regarding international protection. ■ Facilitating contact with NGOs, International Organisations, legal aid etc. " Close cooperation with the newly-established Asylum Service - asylum offices will be hosted in the FR Centres so that the procedures of examining requests for international protection start immediately after the request has been submitted. ■ Effective screening of vulnerable groups and referral to reception facilities. ■ Short stay of migrants that will not exceed 25 days in the Centres. ■ Quality control of services offered. A set of procedures will be implemented, intended to ensure that the offered services, such as information concerning rights, returns etc, facilitation of contact with NGOs and legal help, accommodation, food and medical services, adheres to a defined set of quality criteria and meets the requirements of the FRS and the relevant laws. * Application of “best practices” regarding installations and practices (SOPs, manuals etc). ■ Separation within the FR Centres of unaccompanied minors, vulnerable groups, asylum seekers etc. ■ Provision of psychological support to migrants. ( : ' " Facilitation of Voluntary Returns in cooperation with IOM and other stakeholders.

Furthermore FRS has developed contingency plans to address increased irregular arrivals in areas where there are no FR Centres. In particular FRS is planning Mobile Units to operate as rapid response teams to perform First Reception operations on the spot and improve First Reception Conditions mainly in the islands but in the mainland as well.

Complimentary to these on-going measures for the establishment of the FRS and the FRC, reception conditions in the Evros region and the Aegean Islands have been improved and will follow a continuous process of improvements, in line with the national, European and International legislation and recommendations (Matrix 1.2, Matrix 3).

The Action Plan on FRS has been revised, reflecting the current state of play and includes concrete objectives and deliverables in order to ensure fast and significant progress.

The implementation of the asylum procedure during the transitional period, that is, until the new Asylum Service and Appeals Authority begin their operation, is set out in Presidential Decree 114/2010 of 22 November 2010. This Presidential Decree introduced procedural guarantees for the asylum seekers, which are foreseen in the EU Asylum Acquis. The Hellenic Police, through its competent Services, is responsible for the examination in 1st instance and the 10 independent Appeal Committees are responsible for the examination, in fact and in law, of the appeals submitted. The Hellenic Police will finalize the examination of all applications submitted to it by the end of the transitional period, and until the entire backlog of first and second instance is cleared. . In support of the implementation of the “Greek Action Plan on Migration Management and Asylum” various activities, which are foreseen in the Presidential Decree, are carried out by the Hellenic Police in close cooperation with UNHCR and EASO. During 2013, the Hellenic Police will develop new activities or continue those already undertaken and enhance the existing cooperation with the above mentioned key partners, as well as with EU MSs.

More specifically, these activities consist of the following: (1) Ensure effective access to the asylum procedure by: (A) Updating of the existing information material for asylum applicants. Updated information for Urns will also be included. (B) Continue using trained / qualified interpreters for the asylum procedure in 1st instance.

(2) Improve the quality of the asylum procedure by: (A) Continuing the training seminars of the personnel responsible for the examination procedure (ist instance). (B) Continuing the training seminars of the personnel responsible for the examination procedure (2nd instance).

(3) Improve the management of the backlog cases by: (A) Enhancing the reduction of the overall backlog cases (appeals) through an administrative procedure. (B) Establishing an overall management procedure for the pending appeal cases. (C) Finalizing the examination of the active pending appeal cases.

It must be noted that during a period of 18 to 24 months after the end of the transitional period, the Hellenic Police and the relevant Appeal Committees will continue to examine asylum cases until their backlog is dealt with, hence resources will be required for interpretation and other services.

A thorough description of these goal objectives and actions are presented in the Table 2.1 below. DH-DD(2013)711 : distributed at the request of Greece / distribué à la demande de la Grèce. Documents distributed at the request of a Representative shall be under the sole responsibility of the said Representative, without prejudice to the legal or political position of the Committee of Ministers. / Les documents distribués à la demande d’un/e Représentant/e le sont sous la seule responsabilité dudit/de ladite Représentant/e, sans préjuger de la position juridique ou politique du Comité des Ministres.

GREEK ACTION PLAN ON ASYLUM AND MIGRATION MANAGEMENT

2.2. Reform of the Asylum System

The new Asylum Service and the new Appeals Authority intensified their efforts, throughout 2012, to achieve their basic aims, namely the full staffing of the two services, the housing and equipping of five regional asylum centres (i.e. in Athens, Thessaloniki, Alexandroupoli, Orestiada and on the island of Rhodes), and the securing of interpretation services, limited legal aid for asylum seekers at second instance, as well as technical equipment and other necessary services. Given the current economic climate and fiscal constraints in Greece, achieving these aims has been an uphill struggle.

However, a number of developments in the last quarter of 2012 have facilitated the process and have given renewed confidence that the two new services will be fully operational in the first half of 2013. Chief among these developments has been the recent commitment to assign to the Asylum Service and the Appeals Authority 145 newly appointed civil servants from the register of candidates. This important decision, which will, to a large extent, address the still considerable staffing gaps of the two new services, is the strongest confirmation to date of Greece’s indication to the complete reform and rationalization of its asylum system.

A second important development has been the securing of a building (free of rent) for the eventual housing of the Athens Regional Asylum Office (by far the largest one of the projected five), the central offices of the Asylum Service, and the Appeals Authority offices and Committees. The building will need extensive refurbishment; meanwhile, interim premises will be rented.

Given the high degree of specialization that staff carrying out refugee status determination need, a rigorous training programme has been developed with EASO and is being carried out since April 2011. Its aim is to create a corps of Greek-speaking trainers (primarily staff of the new services) who will roll out the training programme to newly joining colleagues. UNHCR liaison officers working with the Central Service assist with the development of by-laws, standard operating procedures, work programmes, registration IT systems and programme management and offer on-the-job training to new Asylum Service staff. It is envisaged that for the first few years certain functions will be outsourced to NGOs, such as interpretation, the provision of free legal assistance, referral to free medical examination of victims of torture, and limited psycho-social support to asylum seekers, as well as Asylum Service staff to avoid burnout.

As will be seen below in Table 2.2, the new Asylum Service and the new Appeals Authority are in need of significant funds from the European Commission and the EU Member States for securing and building up their infrastructure, their technical equipment, their interpretation services and free legal assistance. The funding of these elements is absolutely crucial to begin operating and for the smooth functioning of the two new services.

Reception of Asylum Seekers, Vulnerable Groups & Unaccompanied Minors

Summary

The reception of Asylum Seekers, Unaccompanied Minors and Vulnerable Groups is an integral part of the system to manage mixed migration flows.

|Groups of migrants that_cross the borders illegally may include special categories, i.e. unaccompanied minors, asylum seekers, vulnerable groups (victims of torture, victims of trafficking etc) who are entitled to protection and support.

So far, the Reception System has fallen under the responsibility of different Ministries, namely the Ministry of Health and Social Solidarity at first and, as of late, the Ministry of Labor. The Government has now decided that, the competence of Reception will be transferred to the MOPD&CP and in particular the First Reception Service.

Thus, all issues related to the management of irregular migration and asylum will be under the same roof, resulting in more efficiency, based on the same standards and procedures throughout.

In light of these developments, the First Reception Service has developed an Action Plan that has taken account of all necessary steps so that the transfer of responsibility from the Ministry of Labor to the Ministry of Public Order and Citizen Protection is done smoothly, maintaining the good practices and experiences and becoming more efficient and more tailor-made to suit the specific needs.

In particular, the Revised Action Plan includes: • The effective inclusion of the competent directorate of the Ministry of Labor as a new department of the FRS. | ■ The continuation of the_management and operation of existing Reception Centres so that there are no gaps in the process. ■ The drafting of SOPs for such centres which are tailor-made to the needs of each centre depending on the “target-group”. • Development of a system of referrals and management that follows the existing needs and is in accordance with the actual numbers of people in need of Reception Services. • Increase of capacity to accommodate a sufficient number of beneficiaries.

Special attention will be given to: • Training of personnel. ■ Maintaining good practices already applied. ■ Smooth incorporation of the existing directorate of Social Solidarity in FRS. ■ Harmonization of SOPs and practices within FRS so that First Reception and Reception divisions ^ • are compatible. " ■ Introducing more efficient ways of starting up and operating Reception Centres (i.e. outsourcing). • Close cooperation with major stakeholders such as IOM, EEA, UNHCR etc. " Cooperation with NGOs for the running of the Centres, as well as other actors. ■ Building up capacity. • Quality control.

Pre - removal Centres (Directive 2008/115/EC)

Summary

The Ministry’s policy concerning the detention of irregular migrants is based strictly on the EU legislation. The pre-removal centres, operating under the responsibility of the Hellenic Police, constitute the specialized facilities for the detention of the irregular migrants who are subject to the return procedures under the provisions of the Return Directive 2008/.115/EC Besides police officers, staffing of the pre­ removal centres includes doctors, nurses, social workers, psychologists, interpreters/ translators and private security personnel.

Until September 2012, only one pre-removal centre was functioning at Amygdaleza of capacity of (210) places. Nevertheless, Amygdaleza along with some other facilities could not cover immediate needs. Thus, this Ministry adopted a programme for the fast establishment of pre-removal centres, along four tiers,

A. Increase the capacity of the existing pre-removal centre at Amygdaleza Attikis, from (210) to (2000) places. - B. Transform the Hellenic Police Academy ex-student residencies at Komotini and Xanthi, into pre- removal centres. C. Use of ex-military camps with accommodation facilities that could be renovated, expanded (if necessary) and transformed into pre-removal centres of significant capacity (Corinth, Paranesti, West Macedonia). D. Use of ex-military camps for the establishment of new pre-removal facilities in Karoti of Orestiada- Evros, in Mytilene of Lesvos and in Ritsona of Evia (close to Attika).

Following the aforementioned programme, the Ministry established, within 2012, (5) pre-removal centres, thus increasing the capacity from (210) places to (4000) by the end of 2012. Along with the establishment of adequate pre - removal facilities, special care has been given to the continuous improvement of the quality of the facilities of the pre-removal and detention centres defined by the Directive 2008/115/EC. The facilities will be monitored by the responsible technical division on a regular basis. Additional to those measures, old and non appropriate facilities will be gradually closing down-Venna pre-removal centre has already closed down since 15 December 2012 (Matrix 4).

According to the statistics of the last three (3) years related to the number of irregular migrants arrested at the external borders or in the mainland, it is estimated that 30%,that is almost 93.000, who do not fall under the process of return or applying for international protection are residing illegally in Greece holding a pending deportation decision. Until recently, immigrants arrested at the borders were detained for a short period of time and then, due to the limited, compared to the migration flows, capacity of the existing detention facilities, were released with orders (mostly unenforceable) to leave the country within 30 days. The Ministry decided to increase the capacity of the pre-removal facilities for illegal immigrants under the status of repatriation in order to achieve a significant increase of the returns and send a strong signal to third - country nationals willing to illegally enter Greece and thus European territory. This decision underlines the Government’s determination to implement an effective plan and warn all immigrants who do not fall under the status of international protection that they will be arrested, detained and returned to the countries of origin. In the case of an application for international protection, this application (1st and 2nd instance) will be examined in a maximum period of 2 months and if rejected, the illegal immigrant will be returned to his country of origin. In order to respond to the need for an effective management and humane treatment of all illegal immigrants holding a pending return’s decision, the Ministry is planning to establish additional pre - removal facilities of a total capacity of 10.000 places until the first semester of 2014. The locations of the new pre-removal facilities have already been identified; the construction costs as well as costs for the improvement of the living conditions of the detainees are covered by the European Return Fund. This action, covering only a 10% of the total number of immigrants subject to returns, will result to the significant reduction of the number of illegal immigrants who reside illegally in Greece or in other European Union countries.

This new integrated migration management system in Greece has as general rule the modernization of the asylum system, the protection of vulnerable migrants, the strengthening of border control along with the pre-removal centres and the increase of returns of immigrants illegally residing in the country DH-DD(2013)711 : distributed at the request of Greece / distribué à la demande de la Grèce.

GREEK ACTION PLAN ON ASYLUM AND MIGRATION MANAGEMENT

Despite the intensive efforts, over the last few months, to build a modern system to manage migration in Greece, challenges still exist. Mainly, Greece is working on effective methods, such as fast track screening, in order to diminish the abuse of the existing asylum system. Illegal immigrants tend to apply for asylum as soon as they are detained in order to prolong a return decision. Economic immigrants as soon as they are detained and transferred to a pre-removal detention centre apply to be recognized as refugees and thus be released and extend their residence in the country waiting for their application to be examined. It must be noted though that the deportation decision of an asylum seeker applicant is not being cancelled but only temporarily suspended until the final examination of the asylum application.

In December 2012 and in the area of Attiki, with the largest concentration of irregular migrants, the following phenomena were observed: At a total number of 2.730 illegal immigrants/detainees a number of 1.693 applied for asylum, i.e. 62%. From those asylum seekers: 35,5% have declared as country of origin Pakistan (from 809 immigrants, 602 asylum seekers, i.e. 74 %), 34,8% have declared as country of origin Bangladesh (from 717 immigrants, 589 asylum seekers, i.e. 82%), 7,6% have declared as country of origin Afghanistan (from 273 immigrants, 129 asylum seekers, i.e. 47%) and 22% from other countries.

Based on the above results one can easily assume that there is an abuse of the asylum procedure. Upon observation of the existing internal situation in the above mentioned countries, one would expect a higher number of asylum applicants from Afghanistan, Iran, Egypt, Algeria, Tunisia, State of Palestine or Syria.

This Ministry has set up a programme to prevent an abuse of the asylum procedure until the Asylum Service and Appeals Authority become operational during the first semester of 2013. This programme is te e d j 3n_D.rimifizingj£udL£as£S^^ bv transferring committeeS-tû-Üie pre-removal centres in order to examine these cases. In addition, cases of applications proceeding to the 2nd instance will be examined bv the committees established to deal with the “backlog” described in Chanter 2 (Section 2.1. Management of Backlog. Action Cl. The new efficient and fair asylum system will have the appropriate mechanisms in order to distinguish refugees and vulnerable migrants from economic I immigrants whose purpose is either to stay in Greece or to relocate to other countries of the European Union.

Greece has set the terms for establishing an organized, systematic and fair migration management system but in order to proceed and achieve its goal needs support from the European Union in total and from every MS separately.

Summary

Improving the performance of returning illegal immigrants to their country of origin is an adding value and a key point for Greece in order to deal with its migration problems. For this purpose the Ministry is working towards two main directions.

Firstly, it supports and co-finances (European Return Fund) voluntary repatriation programmes with reintegration measures and forced returns when voluntary return is no longer possible (e.g. cases of immigrants holding a return decision and refuse to return voluntarily). Furthermore, as part of the implementation of the European Return Fund’s financial programme, it recruits interpreters/translators, psychologists and social workers for supporting immigrants under the return process and especially vulnerable returnees (e.g. persons who are ill or disabled, unaccompanied minors, the elderly etc).

Additionally to the programmes for returning illegal immigrants who do not fulfill or no longer fulfill the conditions for entry and/or stay in the country, Readmission Agreements play an important factor to improve the performance of returns. These can be applied with countries with large number of illegal immigrants such as Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Morocco, Algeria and Iraq. According to Decision No. 575/2007/EC establishing the European Return Fund for the period 2008 to 2013 as part of the General Programme ‘Solidarity and Management of Migration Flows’, “the Council Conclusions on the priorities for the successful development of a common re-admission policy of 2 November 2004 emphasise that Community re-admission agreements make an important contribution to an effective joint migration management and play a valuable role in the fight against illegal immigration. They are an important element in the framework of the dialogue and cooperation between the European Union and the countries of origin, former residence and transit of illegal immigrants”.

The Ministry is currently supporting a major IOM Greece Voluntary Repatriation Programme launched in August 2012 that aims at assisting up to 7.000 immigrants having registered an interest in returning to their respective countries of origin.

In addition, IOM Greece has 2 additional active AVRR projects which include a) UKBA funded programme that will soon commence and aims at assisting 145 migrants and b) an EEA funded programme that is currently operational and aims to assist 710 immigrants. To date, IOM Greece has registered more than 11,000 immigrants having an interest in returning to their respective countries of origin. On average, the mission is registering over 70 immigrants per day mainly from Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Morocco and Iraq. Bearing in mind the overwhelming number of immigrants wishing to return, IOM Greece will return an additional 3.000 third-country nationals by June 30, 2013 thus increasing the original number from 7.000 immigrants to 10.000 immigrants.

Finally, regarding Readmission Agreements in Community or National (bilateral) level Greece seeks for assistance from the European Union in order to effectively apply this measure.

An analytical plan is described in the Table 5 below regarding the implementation of the various return programmes, the provision of services to returnees (i.e. psycho-social support, legal aid, interpretation sendees etc) as well as the re-organization of the Department of Deportations (Attica Directorate of Aliens) and the Returns Coordination Office in Athens (Returns Workshop, 15-16 October 2012, Athens).

CHAPTER 6 Border Control

Summary

I. Introduction During the meeting of the SCH-EVAL Working Group on 15-07-2010, the Reports of the Evaluation Committees had been presented, regarding the external land, sea and air Greek borders. Based on the conclusions of the Groups of Experts and the large number of recommendations that had been included to the conclusions, the establishment of an aggregated National Action Plan for the implementation of the recommendations was considered to be necessary.

Responding to this need, Greece established and presented to the SCH-EVAL Working Group on 12-10- 2010 a National Action Plan under the code name « Greece-Schengen ». This Plan was approved and became officially a document of the Council of E.U .3

According to decisions made, monitoring and right implementation of this Action Plan belongs to the SCH-EVAL Working Group, through Periodic (every 3 months) Progress Reports by the Hellenic Representation and visits of experts on peer-to-peer level.

Regarding with the time of completion of the implementation of the National Action Plan, December 31, 2013 was settled as final date.

II. Objectives The National Action Plan "Greece - Schengen" as approved by the foresaid Working Group, aims to launch and implement targeted measures and actions in order to implement four basic targets closely connected with the model of Integrated Management of the external borders of E.U .4 More specifically, these four targets concern:

Enforcement of the institutional framework in order to guarantee the necessary level of National Coordination of Operational Cooperation,

Controls at the border crossing points according to the Schengen Borders Code,

More effective management of staff and review of training system and,

Improvement of infrastructure and more effective use of technical means for external borders surveillance.

III. State of Play The National Action Plan “Greece-Schengen”, now included into the Revised Action Plan, involves measures regarding to -apart from the external borders- reception, repatriation of migrants who illegally entered or stay in Greece and for those in need of international protection.

Annex IV

Goal/Objective includes the overall goal that the actions are intended to achieve.

A ctions include all the activities to be implemented in order to achieve the overall goal set in the first column; they may be divided into sub-actions if needed. Every action is linked with at least an indicator of success. Once an activity is accomplished it will be moved to the “State of Play” column. Every action is mirrored by a deadline in the “timeframe” column.

Indicators measure the success in reaching the single actions’ goals (not eventual sub actions) as well as the overall objective. They are the quantitative or qualitative factor or variable that provides a simple and reliable means to measure achievement.

State of play includes all actions that have been already undertaken to achieve the goal. Once an action in the “action” column is implemented it should be moved to the “state of play column”.

Im p lem en tin g acto rs include the actors that are involved in the implementation of the action.

T im efram e is the deadline for the implementation of the action.

Assumptions indicate the pre-conditions on which the action is based as well as a risk management strategy if the pre-conditions are not met anymore.

Total costs indicate the costs in order to implement the action.

Resources are the funding sources of the action (i.e. National Budget, European Return Fund (EBF) etc).

N eed s A ssessm en t indicate costs that are not yet secured.
