Agreement reached with UNHCR for the 20,000 places rental scheme primarily benefits asylum seekers eligible for relocation, but can also benefit other applicants for family reunification in another EU Member State and persons seeking asylum in Greece, particularly vulnerable applicants. The 6,000 places to be made available for relocation centres are expected to become the main accommodation for relocation beneficiaries.

The relocation centres are to be funded by the EU as part of the delegation agreement with UNHCR for the accommodation rental scheme.

These recommendations are the possibility to involve EASO experts in carrying out more extensive interviews, improving the quality of the applicant file by including a security form listing the various checks the person has undergone at each step of the procedure and the result of these checks, a security correspondent on the Italian side, and bilateral cooperation agreements to compare and exchange fingerprint data for security and criminal purposes.

 This emergency assistance comes on top of the EUR 509 million allocated to Greece for the period 2014-2020 through its national programmes under the Home Affairs Funds (AMIF and ISF), where substantial funding is also available to support the implementation of asylum policies.

As reported in the 4th Report, a further planned increase of staff, with another 18 Member States experts to support the registration, had to be postponed as a number of the Asylum Service staff are engaged in the pre-registration exercise.
