Question Time in the German Bundestag on 24 October 2012 (13.35 to 15.35
hrs)

Answered by Minister of State Cornelia Pieper

Question no. 33
Andrej Hunko, Member of the Bundestag
The Left Party parliamentary group

Question:

What additional information does the Federal Government now have about
EU financial support for the construction and/or renovation of Greek
detention centres for people facing deportation or other reception
facilities (including for the temporary accommodation of Syrian
refugees), which in April 2012 the Federal Government said it largely
had no knowledge of in its answer to my written question 7, Bundestag
printed paper 17/9307, and my oral question 63 (record of plenary
proceedings 17/177); and what funds or other forms of support from the
EU and its Member States are being or have been, since 2011, made
available or used for the renovation, restructuring and construction of
such facilities or, in connection with this, the establishment of new
police units and police stations throughout the country?

Answer:

The Greek government’s National Action Plan on Asylum Reform and
Migration Management, which provides for the construction of reception
facilities, among other measures, receives financial support from the EU
Commission in the form of 9.8 million euros in emergency funding from
the European Refugee Fund. The European Union is providing personnel and
non-financial support for the implementation of the National Action Plan
via the European Asylum Support Office (EASO) and the European
Commission. For example, EASO is deploying asylum support teams composed
of officials from the EU Member States. Frontex, the EU border agency,
is supporting Greece in the field of border management.
In addition, funding from the EU External Borders Fund and the European
Return Fund, among others, is available for Greece. According to the
European Commission, which manages these funds, Greece has not yet
submitted complete plans for all planned facilities, meaning that the
EU’s financial contribution cannot yet be specified exactly.

To date, Greece has only applied for EU funding for individual projects:
funding for the construction or renovation of reception centres in
Filakio, Orestiada and Karoti from the EU External Borders Fund, for
example, or funding for detention facilities in Athens, Elliniko and
Aspropyros from the European Return Fund.

In this context, Germany will support proposals at the European Union’s
Justice and Home Affairs Council on 25-26 October 2012 to make it
significantly easier for Member States experiencing economic
difficulties, such as Greece, to access funding from EU funds such as
the External Borders Fund and the Return Fund by reducing the required
national co-financing rate.

The Federal Government is also actively participating in support for
Greece in the framework of the EU assistance coordinated by EASO, by
sending experts from the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees
(BAMF) to Athens, and at bilateral level by sending a BAMF liaison
officer to Greece. Additionally, both in the framework of Frontex and on
a bilateral basis, officers from the Federal Police are being sent to
Greece and technical support for border surveillance is being made
available.

The assistance provided by Germany or by the EU funds specified above is
not intended as support for the establishment of new police units or
police stations as such.
