Bid to create asylum agency

http://www.ekathimerini.com/4dcgi/_w_articles_politics_1_18/11/2009_112523

Citizens’ Protection Minister Michalis Chrysochoidis has called for
the creation of a committee
of experts to advise the government on the composition and operation
of an independent agency
for processing the asylum applications of immigrants, sources said yesterday.

The committee would comprise experts from the Citizens Protection,
Interior and Health ministries,
the United Nations refugee agency, the Greek Council for Refugees and
the Ombudsman, according
to the sources which said that a proposal about the form such an
agency should take was expected in mid-December.

The initiative came a few days after a group of 21 rights groups sent
a letter to the European Commission,
complaining about the alleged mistreatment of refugees by Greek authorities.
