Comparison between first instance and appeal decision rates: 2024 It should be noted that, during the same year, the first instance and appeal authorities handle different caseloads. Thus, the decisions below do not concern the same applicants. First instance (in merit) Number Appeal Percentage Number Percentage Total number of decisions 50,117 100% 8,323 100% Positive decisions 39,567 78.9% 696 8.4% • Refugee status 39,271 78.4% 563 6.8% • Subsidiary protection 296 0.5% 107 1.3% • Other5 Negative decisions - - 28 0.3% 10,550 21.05% 7,625 91.6% Source: MoMA, Factsheet - December 2024, available at: https://migration.gov.gr/statistika/. * Numbers above refer to in-merits decisions in the case of first instance decisions. In the case of appeals, given no relevant breakdown is provided, data concerns the total number and outcome of appeals against both first instance in-merit negative decisions and against first instance inadmissibility decisions. 5 Other positive decisions on second instance refers to second instance decisions rejecting the appeal submitted against a first instance decision not granting refugee protections but finding that the applicant should be recognised as a beneficiary of subsidiary protection, by which the status of the beneficiary of subsidiary protection is maintained. 9
