Immigration liaison officers’ network
SUMMARY OF:
Regulation (EC) No 377/2004 creating an immigration liaison officers network
WHAT IS THE AIM OF THE REGULATION?
It aims to establish formal cooperation by setting up networks of immigration liaison officers (ILOs)*.
KEY POINTS
Many EU countries deploy ILOs to their consular authorities in non-EU countries. The ILOs’ role includes maintaining direct contacts with the authorities in the host country to facilitate exchanges of information concerning:
EU countries must inform one another, the Council and the European Commission of their secondments of immigration liaison officers.
ILOs deployed to the same country form local networks in which they, in particular:
Meetings are held either at the initiative of the EU country holding the Council presidency or at the initiative of other EU countries. Representatives of the Commission and the European Border and Coast Guard participate in them unless operational considerations require meetings to be held in their absence.
EU countries may bilaterally or multilaterally agree that ILOs posted by an EU country also look after the interests of one or more other EU countries. They may also decide to share certain tasks among themselves.
At the end of each semester, the EU country holding the Presidency of the Council of the EU draws up a report for the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on the activities of the ILOs in the countries and regions of particular interest to the EU with regard to immigration. This report is drawn up in accordance with a model provided in Commission Decision 2005/687/EC. On the basis of this report, the Commission then drafts an annual summary of the development of the ILO networks.
Evaluation and proposed recast of the regulation
The Commission’s 2017 communication on the Delivery of the European Agenda on Migration confirmed the need to revise the regulation. This followed an evaluation carried out by external consultants which produced its final report in August 2017. The evaluation concluded that:
It also suggested that the added value at European level of ILOs deployed in non-EU countries had not been fully realised.
The Commission, therefore, issued a proposal to recast the regulation in May 2018.
FROM WHEN DOES THE REGULATION APPLY?
It has applied since 5 January 2004.
