Conditions in the programme agreement
5 concerns were recorded against this programme when it was agreed.
- Building on the results achieved in the GR06 programme implemented under the EEA Financial Mechanism 2009-2014, the programme will assist the capacity building of the national asylum and migration management system. Special attention and priority shall be given to ensuring legal protection and care for the most vulnerable groups of asylum seekers, in particular unaccompanied children.
- No more than 60% of the total eligible expenditure of the programme shall be available for infrastructure (hard measures).
- The programme shall contribute to a well-functioning asylum system, enabling asylum-seekers to bring forward their claim for international protection, have their claim processed in due time and be offered accommodation during the processing of their case.
- The programme shall enhance the interaction and cooperation with relevant civil society organisations. For this purpose, a dedicated open call or a small grant scheme shall be explored during the development of the concept note.
- The relevant public institutions in the Hellenic Republic in charge of the asylum and migration policy area in question shall be actively involved in the preparation and implementation of the programme. The competent Ministry for asylum and migration policy in Greece will participate in the Cooperation Committee.
