H Eλλάδα ζήτησε απο τη Frontex την ανάπτυξη επιπλέον δυνάμεων

 
Greece asked Frontex yesterday to launch a Rapid Border Intervention Teams (RABIT) mechanism on the Greek islands in the Aegean, where it continues to face massive migratory pressure. Frontex Executive Director Fabrice Leggeri has five working days to evaluate the situation and decide whether to activate the RABIT mechanism.
The RABIT mechanism provides rapid operational assistance to a requesting member state facing urgent and exceptional migratory pressure at its external borders.  
If Frontex accepts Greece’s request for a RABIT mechanism, the agency would ask EU Member States and Schengen Associated Countries for border guards and equipment for the operation. Under the RABIT Regulation, Member States would be mandated to contribute these, unless they themselves face an exceptional situation substantially affecting the discharge of national tasks.
All border guards deployed by Frontex in a RABIT operation work under the command of the national authorities of the requesting member state.
 Όλοι οι συνοριοφύλακες που αναπτύσσονται  από τη  Frontex σε RABBIT επιχείρηση είναι  υπό τη διοίκηση των εθνικών αρχών του αιτούντος κράτους μέλους.

Frontex is already assisting the Greek authorities in the Aegean islands where in the framework of operation Poseidon Sea the agency deploys 16 vessels and two helicopters, along with 195 officers who help register migrants and collect intelligence about people smuggling networks. Just in the hotspot on Lesbos, Frontex currently deploys 83 officers.
Yesterday, Frontex also agreed with Greece to expand its activities to the country’s border with the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, where the agency will assist Greece with registration of migrants. The deployment of additional officers will begin next week.
In October, Frontex called on member states to provide 775 border guards for its activities, with 600 to be deployed in Greece. Member states have so far offered 447 officers.
Η ανάπυξη των επιπλέον δυνάμεων θα αρχίσει την επομενη εβδομάδα.
Τον Οκτώβριο, ο Frontex κάλεσε τα κράτη μέλη να παράσχουν 775 συνοριοφύλακες για τις δραστηριότητές της, με 600 που θα εγκατασταθούν στην Ελλάδα. Τα κράτη μέλη έχουν μέχρι στιγμής προσφέρει 447 υπαλλήλους.




*The Rapid Border Intervention Teams (RABIT) is a mechanism established so as to allow, in case of exceptional migratory pressure, rapid deployment of border guards on a European level.
