In any event, information on reception should take into account the actual available reception capacity, the availability and accessibility of referral pathways to reception facilities and other services and the legal obligations imposed on the applicants, i.e., restrictions on movement imposed in the context of the rules governing the CCACs and broader reception facilities, and the obligation to remain on a given island for those subject to EU-Türkiye statement. 2. Access to reception centres by third parties Indicators: Access to Reception Centres 1. Do family members, legal advisers, UNHCR and/or NGOs have access to reception centres? Yes With limitations No According to Article 60 (2)(b) of the Asylum Code, asylum applicants in reception facilities have the right to be in contact with relatives, legal advisors, representatives of UNHCR and other certified organisations. These shall have unlimited access to reception centres and other housing facilities in order to assist applicants. The Director of the Centre may extend access to other persons as well. Limitations to such access may be imposed only on grounds relating to the security of the premises and of the applicants. With the exception of NGOs that are operational within a site and enrolled in the registry of NGOs of the MoMA, access to temporary accommodation Centres, Reception and Identification Centres and the new Closed-Controlled Centres is subject to prior official authorisation at the central level, while the Director of each facility may define more specifics terms and conditions for each relevant visit (e.g., time of visit). See also Asylum procedure - Access to NGOs and UNHCR. G. Differential treatment of specific nationalities in reception During 2022, there was obvious differential treatment by the State towards Ukrainian refugees and asylum applicants and refugees from all other countries; a welcoming policy that created a two-tiered reception system. Immediate access to the labour market and medical care, accommodation and food support; launch of an online pre-registration platform were all completed by the end of March 2022. For all other refugees and asylum applicants and also for Ukrainians who were in Greece before 26 November 2022 the situation has not ameliorated: difficulties in accessing the asylum procedure, problematic reception procedure and provisions of material conditions, and pushback practices remain. 1161 This distinction continued to apply during 2025. 1161 For the two-tier refugee response, see among others: GCR / OXFAM / Save the Children International, Greece: A two-tier refugee system, Bi-monthly bulletin, May 2022, available at: https://bit.ly/3OJOetv.
