BELGIUM & GREECE (Appl. No 30696/09) AND RELATED CASES -------------------------------------------------------- 1348th (Human Rights) meeting (June 2019) (DH) -------------------------------------------------------- The Greek Council for Refugees (GCR) is a Greek Non-Governmental Organization, founded in 1989, which provides legal assistance and social support to persons in need of international protection in Greece. Inter alia, the Greek Council for Refugees has a consultative status in the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) since 2001 and participates in the Greek National Commission for Human Rights (GNCHR) since 1999. During the previous years, GCR has communicated to the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe a series on selected issues, within the framework of the execution of the ECtHR judgment M.S.S. v. Belgium and Greece (appl. no. 30696/09) according to art. 9 of the Rules of the Committee of Ministers for the supervision of the execution of judgments and of the terms of friendly settlements. Without underestimating the progress made since the issuance of the M.S.S. judgment in 2011, the Greek asylum and reception system faces new challenges, while a number of systemic and endemic shortcomings persist. In particular, the impact of the closure of the so-called Balkan route in 2016, which resulted in an important number of applicants remaining and applying for asylum in Greece, and the impact of the implementation of the EU-Turkey Statement on the asylum procedure and the reception conditions in Greece, should be assessed. In March 2019, the latest update of the AIDA Country Report on Greece – drafted by the Greek Council for Refugees- has been published under the Asylum Information Database platform, managed by the European Council for Refugees and Exiles (ECRE). Said Report tracks numerous legislative, policy and practice developments relating to the asylum procedure, reception conditions, detention of asylum seekers and protection of minors in Greece. Pursuant to Art 9(2) of the Rules of the Committee of Ministers for the supervision of the execution of judgments and of the terms of friendly settlements, GCR would like to submit to the Committee of Minister the recent updated AIDA Country Report on Greece- GREEK COUNCIL FOR REFUGEES – SPECIAL CONSULTATIVE STATUS -----WITH THE UN (ECOSOC) 25 SOLOMOU STR., ATHENS 106 82, GREECE TEL: 0030 210 38 00 990 | FAX: 0030 210 38 03 774 | EMAIL: [email protected] 1 DH-DD(2019)515: Rule 9.2 Communication from a NGO in M.S.S. v.

Belgium and Greece, the measures taken to date and the situation that applicants face in practice. Inter alia the updated AIDA Report on Greece, documents and further analyses the following issues:1 Access to the Asylum Procedure:2 Without underestimating the number of applications lodged in 2018 (66,969), access to asylum on the mainland continued to be problematic throughout 2018. Access to the asylum procedure for persons detained in pre-removal facilities is also a matter of concern. On many occasions in 2018, GCR has found third- country nationals, including persons belonging to vulnerable groups, detained on the basis of a removal order issued due to ‘lack of legal documentation’ according to the justification provided by the police, who argued that, despite multiple efforts, they did not manage to gain access to the asylum procedure through Skype. In 2018, the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) confirmed that “the possibility of making an asylum application in practice is a conditio sine qua non for the effective protection of aliens in need of international protection. In case that unhindered access to the asylum procedure is not ensured by the domestic authorities, asylum seekers cannot benefit from the procedural safeguards associated with this procedure and can be arrested and placed in detention at any time. It must be noted that, even if the examination of the asylum application is guaranteed by an effective, reliable and serious procedure, the latter are meaningless if the person concerned does not have the possibility of seeing his application registered for a long time”.3 Push backs:4 Following an increasing number of cases of alleged push backs at the Greek- Turkish border of Evros in 2017, allegations of push backs were systematically reported in 2018 as well. The persistent allegations of summary returns (push backs) have been decried inter alia by UNHCR, the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture (CPT) and the Commissioner for Human Rights of the Council of Europe, the National Commission for Human Rights and civil society organisations. For example, as noted by the CPT, during their visit in Greece, the delegation “received several consistent and credible allegations of informal forcible removals (push-backs) of foreign nationals by 1 All data mentioned below are based on the official data provided by the Greek Authorities or other actors as mentioned. The exact sources and more detailed analysis can be found in the respective chapters of the AIDA Report on Greece, Update 2018, annexed to the present document.

According to the allegations, reported push-back operations in Evros follow a pattern of arbitrary arrest of newly arrived persons entering the Greek territory from the Turkish land borders, de facto detention, and transfer to the border from where they are pushed back to Turkey, without having the opportunity to apply for international protection in Greece, and thus prevented from accessing asylum in practice. No proper official investigation has been launched following these allegations. An ex officio investigation as launched by the Ombudsman in June 2017 has not been finalised yet. Moreover, an investigation of the Public Prosecutor of Orestiada (Evros) has been initiated in March 2019.5 Capacity of the Asylum Service and duration of the procedure:6 At the end of 2018, the Asylum Service operated in 23 locations throughout the country, compared to 22 locations at the end of 2017 and 17 locations at the end of 2016. Moreover, the number of employees of the Asylum Service, distributed across the Central Asylum Service, RAO and AAU, was 679 at the end of 2018, compared to 515 at the end of 2017. Following a reform introduced in May 2018, in case of urgent need, Greek-speaking EASO personnel can carry out any administrative procedure needed for processing applications. i.e. including in the regular procedure. The capacity of the Asylum Service should be assessed by taking into consideration the fact that while the number of EU-wide asylum applications dropped by 10% compared to 2017, the number of applications with the Greek Asylum Service rose by 14%; 66,969 applications in 2018 compared to 58,642 in 2017. Greece received 11% of the total number of applications submitted in the EU, meaning that it was the Member State with the third largest number of applications, following Germany (28%) and France (19%).

  • A Bronze Pail of Athena Alalkomenia
    A BRONZE PAIL OF ATHENA ALALKOMENIA (PLATES 31-34) T HE remarkable archaic Greek bronze vessel published here (P1. 31, a) was l.4 purchased in Mantinea in Arcadia in the spring of 1957 and donated to the Museum in Tegea where other antiquities from the same region have their abode. It had been found by a local shepherd some distance to the north of the ruins of Man- tinea but, unfortunately, the exact location of the discovery could not be ascertained.' The major part of the vessel is preserved, including about half of its upper profiled edge and one attachment for the handle which passed through its upper ring. The whole of this ring is still filled with iron and it is evident that the missing handle was made of this material. The carefully proportioned body has a height of 0.241 m. to the upper edge of the lip. Its largest diameter, 0.215 m., is slightly smaller than the total height and exactly the same both at the outer edge of the lip and at the greatest width of the body which, in turn, occurs precisely half way between that edge and the bottom of the vessel, 0.12 m. distant from both. The upper face of the lip inclines outward slightly to allow overspilling liquid to run off, as it were, from an architectural cornice. The proportion of diameter to height, the rounded bottom and the contraction of the width under the lip combine to give the impression of an elastic curvilinear rhythm to the generally ovoid form.

    GREECE How to Become a Military Officer in the Greek Armed Forces: The basic education and training of the officers of the Greek Army, Navy and Air Force is primarily the responsibility of three respective academies. The national conscript service contributes also to the training of the future military elites. These academies, which are used to educate and train officers also for foreign armed forces, are now on the way to integrate the acquis of the European Higher Education Area in order to obtain the instruments, which will allow them developing further their exchange capacities. These academies, indeed, provide academic curricula at the first cycle level. In addition, the Army Academy proposes postgraduate curricula as a part of the intermediate – or advanced – education of the Greek officers. The Air Force Academy also intends to develop its educational offer in proposing in the future a master curriculum on flight safety. The vocational training of the future Greek and Cypriot military elites, since they are fully trained in the Greek institutions, is also assured by the academies, in cooperation with the specialist training centres.

  • Archaic Eretria
    ARCHAIC ERETRIA This book presents for the first time a history of Eretria during the Archaic Era, the city’s most notable period of political importance. Keith Walker examines all the major elements of the city’s success. One of the key factors explored is Eretria’s role as a pioneer coloniser in both the Levant and the West— its early Aegean ‘island empire’ anticipates that of Athens by more than a century, and Eretrian shipping and trade was similarly widespread. We are shown how the strength of the navy conferred thalassocratic status on the city between 506 and 490 BC, and that the importance of its rowers (Eretria means ‘the rowing city’) probably explains the appearance of its democratic constitution. Walker dates this to the last decade of the sixth century; given the presence of Athenian political exiles there, this may well have provided a model for the later reforms of Kleisthenes in Athens. Eretria’s major, indeed dominant, role in the events of central Greece in the last half of the sixth century, and in the events of the Ionian Revolt to 490, is clearly demonstrated, and the tyranny of Diagoras (c. 538–509), perhaps the golden age of the city, is fully examined. Full documentation of literary, epigraphic and archaeological sources (most of which have previously been inaccessible to an English-speaking audience) is provided, creating a fascinating history and a valuable resource for the Greek historian. Keith Walker is a Research Associate in the Department of Classics, History and Religion at the University of New England, Armidale, Australia.

  • Rural Entrepreneurship in Mountainous Regions Within the Severe Crisis in Greece
    Journal of Advanced Research in Social Sciences and Humanities Volume 2, Issue 2 (78-86) DOI: https://dx.doi.org/10.26500/JARSSH-02-2017-0201 Rural entrepreneurship in mountainous regions within the severe crisis in Greece KARAGOUNI GLYKERIA∗, TRIGKAS MARIOS, PAPADOPOULOS IOANNIS, MPASDEKIS DIMITRIS 1, 3 Department of Wood & Furniture Design and Technology, Technological Educational Institute of Thessaly, Greece 2 Department of Forestry & Natural Environment, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece 4 Department of Statistics, Athens University of Economics and Business, Greece Abstract The paper purports to explore the actual entrepreneurial processes in rural and more precisely in mountainous areas taking into account the specificities of the place. Research focuses on two core aspects of rural entrepreneurship according to existing literature and namely the distinctive characteristics of the businesses ecosystem structure of the mountainous Pyli area, Region of Thessaly, Greece and of its population. The first aspect regards the institutional environment, the firm and market size and types, transport and communications infrastructures; access to information, finance and advice services. The second group of factors refers to the existing entrepreneurial attitude regarding entrepreneurial culture, innovativeness and the importance of knowledge. The field research included one third of the existing enterprises of the area providing an adequate sample for its purposes. The data of the study was captured using struc- tured questionnaires. Findings confirm existing literature and contribute to efforts for the development of policies to regenerate rural areas in Greece which are still in a long-lasting severe socio-economic crisis. The paper aims to inspire more generic policy innova- tion for the bottom-up development of local approaches to strengthen rural entrepreneurship in mountainous areas especially in times of crisis.

The author proposes to identity the exact route of the road as it passed through Kleonaian territoryby combining the evidence of ancient testimonia, the identification of ancient roadside features, the ac- counts of early travelers,and autopsy.The act of tracing the road serves to emphasizethe prominentposition of the city Kleonaion this interstateroute, which had significant consequences both for its own history and for that of neighboring states.
