PLACE OF DETENTION AT THE EASTERN AIR TERMINAL OF ATHENS a. There is a special area in the Transit Hall of the Eastern Air Terminal, where foreign nationals who are characterized as “personae non gratae” remain under Police supervision, until they are repatriated or until they depart for another which grants them entry. b. Foreign nationals who are not permitted to enter the Greek territory and remain in the above mentioned area, are internationally characterized as personae non gratae and are never deemed to acquire the capacity of a prisoner. c. This area belongs to the jurisdiction of the Civil Aviation Authority, which is responsible for the cleaning, the meals e.t.c. at the expense of the airlines, or should the latter refuse to cover the relevant expenditure, at its own expense. The services offered by the Police are limited to the security of the area. d. The Committee’s recommendations for the installation of television, ping-pong, books and newspapers for reading etc have already been forwarded to the Direction of the Athens Airport. e. The above mentioned foreign nationals are not permitted to exercise outdoors, since all the open grounds in the Airport are characterized as strictly controlled grounds (taxi ways, take off strips etc). f. Both the Greek legislation and the Schengen Convention forbid the transfer of the above mentioned foreign nationals outside the airport. Any such action would constitute entry to the territory under the Schengen Convention. Page 6
