-9C. Consultations held by the delegation 4. In the course of the visit, the delegation met the Secretary General of the Ministry of Justice, Athanasios ANDREOULAKOS, Head of Penitentiary Policy, Christina PETROU, and the Chief Prosecutor of the Court of Cassation, Ioannis TENTES, as well as other senior officials from the Ministries of Foreign Affairs, Health, Interior and Justice and the Greek Police Force. The delegation also met the Ombudsman and Deputy Ombudsman, representatives of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the Greek National Commission for Human Rights, and representatives of several non-governmental organisations. A list of the national authorities and organisations met by the delegation is set out in Appendix II to this report. D. Cooperation between the CPT and the Greek authorities 5. The cooperation received during the visit by the CPT’s delegation from the Greek central authorities as well as from the management and staff in the establishments visited was, on the whole, very good. The delegation had rapid access to the places of detention visited, was able to speak in private with those persons with whom it wanted to meet and was provided with access to the information it required to carry out its task. The CPT wishes to express its appreciation for the assistance provided to its delegation in the course the visit by the liaison officers from the Ministries of Foreign Affairs, Interior and Justice. 6. A senior official in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has now been appointed as liaison officer with overall responsibility for maintaining contacts with the Committee; this should certainly facilitate the ongoing dialogue with the Greek authorities. However, there still does not seem to be an appropriate mechanism in place to evaluate the Government responses to the CPT’s visit reports and, in particular, to verify that the responses do indeed address all of the recommendations made by the Committee. For example, no response was provided to the immediate observation made by the delegation at the end of the 2009 visit in relation to the closure of two metal structure containers for detention purposes in the Port Authority of Patras1. It is essential that the authorities ensure the necessary coordination and consultation among the ministries concerned. 7. More fundamentally, the principle of cooperation set out in the Convention requires that decisive action be taken to improve the situation in the light of the Committee’s recommendations. 1 See paragraphs 11 and 85.
