Focus on Europe

Cyprus has assumed the presidency of the European Union for the July to December 2012 term.  This is a key period for the EU, given its aim of implementing a Common European Asylum System (CEAS) by the end of the year.  Here are recommendations from UNHCR and Amnesty International.

    The European Ombudsman just opened a public consultation on Frontex and the EU’s charter of fundamental rights:

    “In 2009, the Charter of Fundamental Rights became legally binding on Frontex, which is based in Warsaw. Since then, a number of civil society organisations have questioned whether Frontex is doing enough to comply with the Charter, for example, in its deployment of EU border guards to Greece where migrant detainees were kept in detention centres under conditions which have been criticised by the European Court of Human Rights.”

    You can find more information here: http://www.ombudsman.europa.eu/en/press/release.faces/en/11765/html.bookmark

    Please help us spread the message to NGOs in the field of migration and human rights.

    Thanks very much in advance,
