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.
