policy, this Policy has an insurmountable effect in the way in which regular and irregular migrant are treated. 81 On June 16, 2016 the Parliament of Greece voted in favor of Law 4735/2016. In it, sweeping changes to the asylum policy of Greece were made in cooperation with the EU Turkey Joint Statement. The measure sought to dissolve the backlog of cases and recast the asylum Procedures Directive into the new procedure to include: free legal assistance, detention of asylum seekers at the reception and identification centers, distinctions made between first country of asylum and safe third country, border procedure, and appeals process.82 Article 22 provides that individuals who have applied for protective status within the past five years and still have an appeal pending, are automatically entitled to a residence permit if they posses a valid asylum permit and do not pose a security risk. This residence permit is granted for a period of 2 years and can be renewed.83 For those who were awaiting appeal, Article 23 imposes a new procedure that puts individuals at risk of having their applications withdrawn. Anyone with pending appeals under the old procedure who have not appeared before the authorities to renew their asylum seeker permit before August 31, 2015 are considered to have implicitly withdrawn their applications.84 According to Article 14 of Law 4375/2016, new arrivals may have their movement restricted during the reception and identification procedures.85 Article 46 articulates a new detention policy. Asylum seekers who have already been detained for immigration reasons may only remain in detention under certain circumstances. 81 Greg Botelho, Turkey, EU Reach Deal for on Plan for Handling Refugees, CNN, Mar. 18, 2016, available at http://www.cnn.com/2016/03/18/europe/eu-turkey-refugees/ 82 Greece: Asylum Reform in the Wake of the EU-Turkey Deal, ASYLUM INFORMATION DATABASE (April 4, 2016), http://www.asylumineurope.org/news/04-04-2016/greece-asylum-reform-wake-eu-turkey-deal 83 Id. 84 Id. 85 Id. 25
