The main applicable principle to be observed is that the responsibility to provide a place of safety, or to ensure that a place of safety is provided, falls on the State responsible for the SAR region in which the survivors were recovered, as set forth in relevant applicable international legal instruments. It shall be ensured that coordination and cooperation with the relevant SAR authorities is carried out in such a way that the persons rescued can be delivered to a place of safety. Greece and the participating Member States shall cooperate with the responsible RCC to identify a place of safety and, when the responsible RCC designates such a place of safety, they shall ensure that disembarkation of the rescued persons is carried out rapidly and effectively. If it is not possible to arrange for the participating unit to be released of its obligation to render assistance as soon as reasonably practicable, taking into account the safety of the rescued persons and that of the participating unit itself, it shall be authorised to disembark the rescued persons in Greece. The participating units shall inform the ICC of the presence of any persons in need of international protection and vulnerable persons, and the ICC shall transmit that information to the competent national authorities of the country where disembarkation takes place. The aforementioned paragraphs on PERSONAL ASSESSMENT apply to the disembarkation of rescued persons. Follow-up measures a)  Provfsion of basic human needs Each participating unit shall include at least one person with basic first aid training. Furthermore, upon disembarkation, Greece shall, prior to any other action, render the basic human needs of the apprehended and rescued persons such as food, shelter and medical assistance. b) Special measures applicable to persons in need of international protection Greece and the participating MSs shall address the special needs of persons in need of international protection. Team members shall refer without delay to the national Greek officer with whom they work when a person expressed, in any way, a fear of suffering serious harm if he/she is returned to his/her country of origin or former habitual residence, or if he/she asks or claims for asylum or any other form of international protection. The national Greek officer shall hand over those persons referred by the Team members to the competent Greek police officer or Greek reception and identification officer of the Reception and Identification Service, for the registration of their intent to apply for international protection. Subsequently, the Asylum Service will proceed with the processing of the application for international protection (lodging of application, interview, and decision). Applicants in a need of international protection shall be informed on where and how their relevant applications may be lodged in accordance with the EU law and following the guidance of the EASO/Frontex practical tool on access to the asylum procedure. c)   Special measures applicable to vulnerable persons Greece and the participating MSs shall address the special needs of children, in particular unaccompanied minors, victims of trafficking in human beings, persons in need of urgent medical assistance, disabled persons, elderly people, pregnant women, single parents with minor children, persons with mental disorders and persons who could have been subjected to torture, rape or other serious forms of psychological, physical or sexual violence and other persons in a particularly vulnerable situation. 31/80

Team members shall refer to the national Greek officer with whom they work other vulnerable persons as described above. The national Greek officer shall hand them over to the officials of the First Reception Service. The victims of trafficking of human beings shall be handed over to Hellenic Police. d) Measures at the BCP Pursuant to the provisions of the Schengen Borders Code, upon interception, people who tried to circumvent border control or crossed the border illegally are brought to the border guard station where, insofar applicable, procedures with a view to readmission and removal of such persons are initiated. Deployed experts support, respectively, the administrative tasks support in the readmission procedures and the physical transportation of the migrants to the country of readmission. The responsible authorities of Greece for ensuring the Follow up measures: The implementation of the follow up measures shall be carried out primarily by Hellenic Police Officers. In respective cases it shall be carried out in care of and with the mediation of the locally responsible Hellenic Coast Guard. Afterwards, the above mentioned persons will be handed over to First Reception Mobile Units, where present, otherwise they will be transferred to the closest First Reception Centre. 3. Readmission Following the conclusions of the European Council of 17 /18 March 2016, the participating MSs deploy officers to support readmission procedures of persons apprehended or rescued when trying to circumvent border control or having crossed the border ille~ally. These officers shall perform their tasks under the instructions of the national team leaders. The Host MS provides adequate briefing on readmission procedures, including the powers that may be exercised, under the Host MS instructions, including during the physical transportation to the Third Country of readmission, such as the pre-departure phase, the security checks, the security measures on board, the means of transport and, if necessary, the use of coercive measures. The briefing shall also include the Information that Host MS makes sure that only persons who have exhausted or waived all remedies available under national law, are readmitted. For the purpose of readmission, any adequate means of transportation can be chosen taken into consideration the operational needs, the safety of the passengers and the instructions from the Host MS. Unaccompanied minors and members of vulnerable groups will not be a subject for readmission to Turkey in the Frontex supported and coordinated operations. Persons who expressed a wish to apply for asylum or International protection shall not be readmitted until their referral to the competent authorities are effectively performed and until the Asylum Service has decided upon their request for international protection. 4. Land patrols at coastal areas Surveillance methods used during Frontex coordinated land patrols (stationary surveillance, patrolling, etc) are: Vehicle Patrols Sighting - Surveillance carried out by technical means, including electronic means. In general, the tasks performed by the land patrols, as defined in Schengen Handbook are: 32180

to monitor the terrain they operate in to ensure that there is no risk to public policy and internal security in the patrolling area to check documents of persons being in the area, who are not known to the patrol team to stop all suspected persons who do not have any documents and ask them to explain in detail their reasons for being in that area to stop and bring to the nearest border guard/ police station persons who have crossed the border in an irregular way. For the purpose of interoperablllty of actions taken by the participating land and maritime units, the proper cooperation as well as timely and smooth exchange of information need to be ensured on the relevant issues including the predefined disembarkation points in order apprehended persons to be transferred in an organized way to the respective police services or to the designated reception facilities. Vehicle patrols Vehicle patrol is a surveillance method used by a small group of two or more police officers performing their duties moving on patrol cars in its area of responsibility. The composition, specific mission and patrol area of responsibility is determined by Local Police Coordinator (LPC) and validated by the International Coordination Centre (ICC). The mission of the vehicle patrols is to perform overall surveillance along the coast of the islands. Vehicle patrols act swiftly on anything happening in their area of responsibility and is under the responsibility of local Authority who orders it. The leader of the patrol has to be nominated for every patrol. The patrol cars are allowed, as referred above, approach everyone in the area to check documents of persons who are not known to the patrol team in order to ensure that such person didn't circumvent the border control. Sighting Sighting is the monitoring of traffic, movement or area from appropriate location to detect irregular border crossings and/ or disembarking persons. The purpose of the sighting and the actions to be taken in each case are clearly defined to the crew leader. At the location of the sighting, its leader has the responsibility to take security measures and to deploy the team in a way that its action will be easy and effective. Rules for security body searches Security body search takes place immediately after the arrest and aims at: Discovering and seizing weapons or other objects that may facilitate the escape of the apprehended person. Collecting evidence related to the crime, which could be destroyed by the apprehended person. Body search on women is conducted by a woman police officer. If there is not one on the spot, the police officer indicates another woman to conduct the body search. During the search the police officers must take care to not offend the dignity, personality or to unreasonably cause harm or bother the individual under search, to the level that this Is feasible. In case no other woman is in the area, police officers pay special attention to secure that women apprehended do not carry any weapon or attempt to throw away possible evidences. 33/80

Any member of the EBCGT wfll not conduct any task individually regarding security body searches and evidence collection but only with the presence of officers from the host MS according to the national rules. Evidence collection on the spot The police officers who arrive first on the spot shall: a. Keep intact the crime scene prohibiting to anyone non-authorized to approach and affect traces or objects found on the spot which can help in the investigation of the crime. b. If the crime was committed in a room, to guard it at the exterior and not allow the entrance to anyone non-authorized. c. Verify and report to their superiors the identity of the persons found , upon arrival at the crime scene or within short distance from it. d. When evidences is possible to be lost, police officers arriving first on the spot and have no jurisdiction to investigate, list everything in details and submit their report to the Investigating officers. They also gather any evidence and any Information on the crime and the perpetrator given by the victims and other persons and where possible act in order to pursue and arrest the perpetrator. Transportation of migrants Transportation of the apprehended persons on land takes place with special service cars and/ or transportation means. Exceptionally, if there are no such means available, any other services vehicle can be used, given that the Commander of the Unit responsible for this transportation considers this vehicle appropriate. Apprehended persons are transferred to the respective police service or to a designated reception place. For safety reasons and respect to the personality of the apprehended, the police officers must avoid, if possible, transfer on foot and call for support of a transportation unit. 34/80

ANNEX 9 - COOPERATION WITH OTHER UNION AGENCIES AND BODIES OR INTERNATIONAL ORGANISATIONS Cooperation with EASO Frontex and European Asylum Support Office (EASO) have established their cooperation in the area of asylum and migration management, exchanging information and best practices on the functioning of their experts' database, sharing their respective training activities and the reports. The Agencies plan to strengthen their cooperation in operational areas, including training on nationality establishment and best practices and methods to better identify persons in need of International protection and promptly refer them to the competent authorities. Frontex will initiate a project aimed at creating the operational and technical capacity for the Agency to process personal data of persons who cross the EU external borders unauthorised and transmit it further to EASO. This project will be designed and implemented in close cooperation with the host MS and EASO, and the processing of personal data by Frontex will start only after the positive opinion issued by the European Data Protection Supervisor. Frontex and EASO will strengthen the coordination of their activities in the operational area in close cooperation with the host Member States authorities to ensure prompt referral and effective access to asylum procedures in accordance with the Common European Asylum Acquis. EASO contribute to the Operational briefings for Frontex deployed experts to maintain the awareness about EASO mandate and role at the hotspots as well as to present the Access to Asylum Procedure Tools developed jointly by EASO and Frontex In cooperation with FRA and UNHCR. Cooperation with EFCA and EMSA Cooperation among Frontex, the European Fisheries Control Agency (EFCA) and the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) is based on strategic and specific modalities set in a Tripartite Working Arrangement signed by three Executive Directors in March 2017. Aligned with their mandates all there agencies cooperate in sharing maritime information, providing new surveillance and communication services, building capacity, analysing operational challenges and emerging risks in the maritime domain as well as planning and implementing multlpurpose operations. More detailed cooperation elements among three agencies can be defined and set in respective Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) and other related documents (e.g. SLA, etc.). The technical Subcommittee No 3 "Sharing capacities and legal issues" to be used as the backbone for further development of below defined technical cooperation elements among all three agencies. Frontex and EFCA The general operational cooperation between Frontex and EFCA is carried out through the International Coordination Centre (ICC) of Frontex JO and assigned contact points of the host MS respective authorities, and the Maritime Operational Centre of EFCA Typically cooperation should focus on the exchange of information, namely sightings as regards fisheries control within the operational area of the JO.
