Foreigners’ Health Cards and submitted documents on the asylum seekers’ case files immediately after lodging. We recall that the Asylum Code does not currently foresee the possibility for EUAA support to the RIS at the stage of lodging of asylum applications. 7. The lodging form should accurately reflect the elements of the asylum application to avoid confusion on applicants and authorities. The “date & point of entry into Greece” field should therefore be completed with the actual date and point of entry into the country, not the date and place of lodging of the claim. 8. The lack of available information on the categories of applications examined by the Asylum Service while applicants are under “restriction of liberty” within the RIC undermines the adequacy of information provided to asylum seekers in line with the safeguards of Article 74(1) of the Asylum Code. This information could be made available on the online platform of the Ministry of Migration and Asylum. 9. It is clear from the letter of Article 95 of the Asylum Code that the border procedure does not apply to applications examined in the RIC, since they are not made at the border or in transit zones. Moreover, there are no “mass arrivals” circumstances which would justify the extension of the border procedure to those making asylum claims during their stay in the RIC. 15 RSA REPORT │ 2023
