The number of asylum applications subject to the border procedure at the airport in 2023 has not been provided by the MoMA, even though GCR has requested it. 4.2. Personal interview Indicators: Border Procedure: Personal Interview Same as regular procedure 1. Is a personal interview of the asylum seeker in most cases conducted in practice in the border procedure? Yes No v If so, are questions limited to nationality, identity, travel route? Yes No v If so, are interpreters available in practice, for interviews? Yes No 2. Are interviews conducted through video conferencing? Frequently Rarely Never The personal interview at the border is conducted according to the same rules as those described under the regular procedure. Where the application has been lodged at the Athens International Airport transit zone, the asylum seekers are transferred in most cases to the AAU of Amygdaleza for the full registration of their asylum application and for the interview. Consequently, GCR is not aware of any interview through videoconferencing in the transit zones to date. 4.3. Appeal Indicators: Border Procedure: Appeal Same as regular procedure 1. Does the law provide for an appeal against the decision in the border procedure? Yes No v If yes, is it Judicial Administrative v If yes, is it automatically suspensive Yes Some grounds No The Asylum Code foresees that the deadline for submitting an appeal against a first instance negative decision issued in the border procedure is 10 days.514 The automatic suspensive effect of appeals depends on the type of negative decision challenged by the applicant (see Admissibility Procedure: Appeal and Accelerated Procedure: Appeal). Appeals against decisions rejecting applications under the border procedure may not carry an automatic suspensive effect if the individual benefits from the necessary assistance of an interpreter, legal assistance and at least one week to prepare the application for leave to remain before the Appeals Committee.515 In practice, in such cases, the appellant has to submit a separate request before the Appeals Committee for leave to remain on Greek territory pending the outcome of the appeal. This request is being examined by the Appeals Committee on the same day as the appeal, so there has been no issue of removal from the country until the notice of the second instance decision, as, in practice, only the submission of the request for leave to remain has a suspensive effect. In cases where the appeal is rejected, the applicant has the right to file an application for annulment before the Administrative Court (see Regular Procedure: Appeal). 514 515 Article 95(3)(c) Asylum Code.
