| description | (Series Information) European Papers - A Journal on Law and Integration, 2019 4(2), 589-601 | European Forum Insight of 21 October 2019 | (Table of Contents) I. Introduction. - II. The functioning of the hotspot approach. - III. Accountability gaps in relation to the current legislative setup. - III.1. The current accountability arrangements. - III.2. The de facto expansion of the activities of EASO in hotspots. - III.3. The call for judicial accountability. - IV. Conclusion. | (Abstract) This Insight explores the interaction between the European Asylum Support Office (EASO) and the national authorities in the EU border and asylum regulatory framework of the 'hotspot approach'. Although the mandate of EASO foresees that the agency is merely to provide support and assistance to the competent authorities in relation to the processing of asylum requests, the actual operational activities of EASO show otherwise. The insight argues that, with this de facto expansion of the activities of the EU agency, the asylum decision-making process in hotspots does no longer qualify as a national procedure, but rather as a form of shared administration, where several EU agencies together with the national authorities are involved in the decision-making process. The current accountability arrangements, however, do not reflect the new role of EASO in the process and exhibit a number of gaps. The purpose of the insight is to highlight the various shortcomings in the system of judicial accountability of EASO in the processing of asylum requests and discuss their implications for the asylum seekers hosted in the hotspots. |
