Answer given by Ms Kyriakides on behalf of the European Commission
13.3.2023
The Commission is not in possession of the information referred to by the Honourable Member of the European Parliament as the designation of exit points falls within the remit of the relevant competent authorities.
There is currently no legal obligation for the Member States to communicate the list of exit points they have designated in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1/2005[1], nor for the Commission to make such list available to the public in accordance with that regulation.
In addition, in drawing up the lists of border control posts referred to in Article 60(1) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625[2], in accordance with the specifications set out in Annex II to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1014[3], there is no obligation for Member States to specify cases where a border control post acts as an exit point.
Nevertheless, the Commission will address this issue with the Greek competent authorities in the context of the regular communications held with Member States.
