2013 Operating plan – phase II for the deployment of asylum support teams to Greece

EASO asylum support teams were deployed in Greece in order to support the implementation of efficient
asylum procedures and standards and the operational capacity to tackle the urgent situation of increased mixed
migration pressures in Greece with respect to asylum. In particular, the Operating Plan Phase I aimed to increase
expertise for running First Reception and Screening facilities and structure the asylum procedure for enhanced
capability and process. Special attention has been given to training needs for existing staff and for increased
resources in the future under the establishment of the new Asylum Service, the new Appeals Authority and the
new First Reception Service.
