EU releases self-censored version of migrant hunt information printable version
13 Oct 2014: posted by the editor - Human Rights, Europe, European Union
On Monday, 13 October, the EU began a massive and orchestrated hunt—Joint Operation (JO) "Mos Maiorum"—for 'illegal' and other migrants. However, the public document released by the EU was listed as 'partialy accessible' and had all dates and details of Joint Operation (JO) "Mos Maiorum" taking place between 13 to 26 October 2014 deleted.
Tony Bunyan, Director of Statewatch, which drew attention to the issue said: "There has to be full accountability and post-operation scrutiny by the European Parliament: How many people were "checked in each participating Member State and which of their agencies were involved in the operation? Where were they "checked", at EU border point, on a train or bus or in the street or where else? How many in each country were detained how long for and where? Of those not released what happened to them and where are they now?" (See also http://www.statewatch.org/news/2014/oct/eu-com-ann-rep-access-com-619-annex-14.pdf)
Statewatch reports that the frequency of invoking the protection of the Commission's decision making process (Article 4(3)) as ground for refusal at the initial stage, in relation to all invoked exceptions, slightly increased in comparison with the previous year (27.1% against 25.2% in 2012). It was the most frequently invoked exception, and 16.3% of confirmatory applications are refused on the same grounds.
