Έκθεση επί Μεταναστευτικών και Προσφυγικών Θεμάτων

A.- Further to the foregoing relevant document (a), by virtue of competence, we hereby bring to your cognizance
the following:

1.- Our long-year efforts, for the manifestation of measures of organisational and coordination character, in
accordance with the two National Action Plans “NATIONAL STRATEGY ON INTEGRATED BORDER
MANAGEMENT 2014 - 2020” and the “NATIONAL ROAD MAP ON ASYLUM AND RETURNS”, were at
first affected by the unprecedented refugee / immigration challenge of the year 2015 (-911,471- arrests in the
12 months of 2015 in relation to -77,163- arrests in the 12 months of 2014).

th
Despite the signature of the European Union – Turkey Joint Statement of the 18 of March 2016 which brought
about the significant decrease in the gross migratory flows to (204,820) in the year 2016, to (68,112) in the
year 2017 and to (93,367) irregular immigrants in the past year (2018), the continuation of the immigration
pressure exerted pressure to the reception and asylum conditions, which in conjunction to the following
domestic legal and financial technical procedures, led to delays in certain time-frames of actions under
implementation.

The government apparatus coped with adequacy to the management of complicated organisational and
humanitarian problems, which arose pressingly for immediate solution from the stay of a large number of aliens
in open accommodation structures which are already situated all over mainland Greece, a fact which creates a
series of difficulties at a central and local level, and yet with the smooth cooperation and the joint attempts of
contribution of all the co-competent government bodies, international organisations and cooperating non-
government organisations (NGOs) the situation is manageable.

In our aforedescribed effort, our aidor has been the European funding of the ordinary Multiannual Programs of
the ISF and AMIF Funds (of the year 2018), of the New Funding Period 2014 - 2020, as well as the funds which
were spent for the strengthening of the efforts committed by Greece for the treatment of the phenomenon of
irregular immigration, cooperating to this end with the co-competent Ministries and other competent bodies.

2.- In particular, as to each Question posed we hereby inform the following:
Question 1:
The number of arrests of refugees / irregular immigrants in the year 2017, at a national level, showed a decrease
of the order of -66.75% (-68,112- arrests in 2017 in relation to -204,820- arrests in 2016) and there were issued
(-28,810-) of return/deportation orders with detention.

Questions 2 and 6:
In TABLES which are stated herein there appear the existing detention facilities in the regions of Evros, the
Northern and Southern Aegean, the Region of Attica and in the rest continental country, as well as their capacity
and the time of their operation, as well as the total number of the administrative detainee aliens in the Aliens’
Pre-Removal Detention Centres, how many of them were asylum applicants and how many unaccompanied
minors, for the years 2017-2018 (ANNEXES 1, 2, 3).
