JOINT NGO BRIEFING PAPER: RELOCATION FROM GREECE
4/11/2021
RLS is a signatory to the below joint briefing on relocation from Greece.
"Since 2015, over 25,000 vulnerable refugees and asylum seekers, including unaccompanied children, have been relocated from Greece to other European countries. These relocation programmes – the result of Decisions of the Council of the EU establishing an emergency mandatory relocation scheme, bilateral agreements between EU Member States and Greece, and a voluntary EU scheme established in 2020 – have transformed the lives and prospects of these people."
