On 20 December 2021, the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) announced that two cases were communicated to Greece concerning the illegal collective expulsion of migrants from its territory.  

Dear Sir,

Thank you for your letter of 26October2021 and for sharing your concerns and recommendations on the situation of applicants and beneficiaries of international protection in Greece with regard to food provision.

Over the last few years, the European Commission has provided substantial financial support to Greece in order to improve migration management.

The undersigned non-governmental organisations were surprised to be informed that the Ministry of Migration and Asylum denied the registration of non-profit civil society organisation “Refugee Support Aegean” (RSA) on its NGO Registry, despite a positive opinion from competent services. We are particularly concerned by the substantive ground for such rejection, citing that the “development of activity” “in support of persons under deportation” is contrary to Greek legislation.
