Morning session
Welcome and introduction
Introductory remarks by DG HOME which chaired this meeting.
Expert group rules of procedures
DG HOME presented a proposal on the group rules of procedure. An electronic version
will be circulated with the minutes. The intention is to approve the rules during the next
GAMM expert meeting.
Update on the Mobility Partnership Facility
A quick update of the Mobility Partnership Facility was provided by DG HOME,
A proposal awarded to France to support return of Armenian migrants started in
December 2016.
A proposal submitted by Romania to support border management was awarded.
Two proposals were in the process of being evaluated. One submitted by Italy
concerned the promotion of circular migration with North African countries. The other
submitted by Hungary concerned cooperation with Eastern Partnership countries.
A proposal on border management submitted by Greece to cooperate with Moldova was
rejected.
DG HOME informed that funding was still available to award grants and that no
applications were submitted for ISF Police yet. For this reason an 11 months extension
1
until November 2018, for ICMPD, the MPF implementing body was about to be
finalised. The extension would give more time for submitting proposals.
The European Asylum Support Office (EASO) highlighted that some Member States
are facing problems to submit proposals and inquired about the possibility of support
opportunities. DG HOME responded that ICMPD would be available for any
inquiry/further support.
Both Sweden and Italy called upon the need of letting Member States know about
further changes on deadlines and inquired about the new exact dates.
The United Kingdom asked to elaborate on the possibilities to present proposals on
Police cooperation. A written question will be sent to DG HOME.
Partnership Framework/Compacts
DG HOME presented compact as a comprehensive approach in the field of migration.
Compact priority countries are the ones listed in the Partnership framework
Communication, namely Nigeria, Niger, Mali, Ethiopia and Senegal. The idea brought
forward with compacts focuses on an integrated approach to migration. This involves
not only the Commission but also MS in addressing root causes of migration.
DG HOME also informed that two progress reports on the Partnership Framework were
issued. The last produced in the month of December 2016.
France inquired if these five countries were also in the EU Emergency Trust Fund for
Africa (EUTF). DG Home clarified that the EUTF encompasses a larger number of
countries and that the five included in the compact are also in the EUTF.
The United Kingdom inquired on the consequences of expanding the compacts to
countries not embraced by the EUTF. DG HOME clarified that the identification of
additional compact countries is a political matter, additional funding may be made
available through other instruments (eg. Bilateral cooperation, MS contribution, the
European Investment Plan etc).
EASO asked for further clarification on the role of the agencies in this matter. In this
point, DG HOME noted the good relations already established with Frontex in this
regard and that it plans to further enhance these relations because the role of the
agencies is of prime importance especially in dealing with third countries.
European Migration Liaison Officers (EMLOs) deployment and roles
DG HOME informed the audience that the EMLOs deployment will be to the following
countries: Serbia, Pakistan, Jordan, Lebanon, Sudan, Egypt, Ethiopia, Mali, Niger,
Nigeria, Senegal, Tunisia, Turkey, Morocco and Bangladesh (these 2 a bit behind in the
process). In this regard, training to the EMLOs will be provided mid-January in
Brussels.
Germany informed that two Germans EMLOs have been already selected for Egypt and
Pakistan.
France asked for more detailed information on the role EMLOs will have in
Delegations. DG HOME clarified that the EMLOs main work will be one of stepping up
coordination on migration in third countries (namely a direct contact with regional and
2
national authorities on the entire spectrum of migration issues). Reference was made to
the 2015 Council decision establishing EMLOs mandate.
Frontex inquired on possible interactions between the EMLOs and the two liaison
officers deployed by Frontex in Turkey and Niger. DG HOME clarified that synergies
among different actors working on migration is a key success for advancing on an
integrated approach. DG HOME stated that the induction programme foreseen in
January 2017 will be an opportunity to clarify coordination and synergies.
EASO suggested that a discussion between the EMLOs and the agencies during the
induction training in January would be a good initiative, showing their availability to
participate in the training.
Implementation of the GAMM vis-à-vis Africa
ACP-EU dialogue on migration and development. Debrief on Seminar on
Trafficking in Human Beings and Smuggling of Migrants
DG HOME provided a detailed update on the constructive and useful meeting on
trafficking and smuggling held in November 2016. While progress has been made in
the ratification and transposition of laws in the national legislations, room for
improvement is required on the implementation of the laws and in cross border and
regional cooperation based on good practices developed in the Pacific, Caribbean and
West African countries.
On the main challenges faced by ACP countries concern the difficulty in collecting and
sharing data.
Basic police work needs also to be enhanced. This concerns good reporting of cases,
collecting fingerprints, identifying criminals, proper judicial follow up and proper
training of judges and magistrates.
The issue that victims are many times treated as criminals was raised in particular when
speaking about child protection. IOM expertise could support many ACP countries in
tackling this matter. Actions should focus on victim protection and awareness raising
with the support of civil society organisations. Reference was also made to the need of
setting up good referral mechanisms and of cooperating between origin, transit and
destination countries.
The importance of better border controls and fight against document fraud was also
emphasised.
Focus should be place not only on South-North flows but also on South-South flows.
A detailed report about the Seminar will be circulated early 2017.
Regarding the way forward in 2017 although Greece indicated that readmission remains
an important topic; there will be a discussion with the ACP secretariat (which is pushing
for root causes).
Rabat process
DG HOME mentioned two main events that took place lately. A two days thematic
meeting on visa facilitation took place in Cabo Verde from November 30 until
December 1. The meeting corresponded to one of Valletta Action Plan thematic
priorities, namely in the field of exchange of good practices and experiences.
3
Portugal took the floor to mention that it co-chaired the visa facilitation meeting
considered to be successful with a full engaged and cooperating host. As a sign of this
commitment, the Cabo Verde high rank officials were said to be present at the opening
and closing ceremony and their commitment on this was emphasized. This was also
referred as being the first thematic meeting that gathered Rabat and Khartoum members
thus representing an important step to Valletta.
On December 7 2016, a Steering Committee meeting was held in Brussels to prepare
the Valletta SOM in February 2017. A second Steering Committee meeting planned
for January 17 2017 will endorse the Valletta SOM report from the Rabat Process side.
CAMM with Nigeria
DG HOME noted discussions on migration management with Nigeria is ongoing based
on a set of priority areas identified in 2015 with the Nigerian authorities. It was also
highlighted the recently adopted projects under the EUTF for Nigeria will help in the
progress of the migration dialogue with this country.
CAMM with Ethiopia
DG HOME spoke about the difficulties faced with Ethiopia during the GAMM
negotiations. The difficulties were attributed to coordination issues among the different
ministries. An aide memoire was added to the GAMM topics covering legal migration,
addressing smuggling and trafficking in human beings, and promoting international
protection.
On the state of play of the CAMM, the issue of return has started to be analysed.
Despite the country’s state of emergency, Ethiopia was said to have shown willingness
to cooperate on migration.
Even if bilateral cooperation is not easy, DG HOME considers that there is room for
improvement especially within the La Valletta process and the Partnership Framework
as Ethiopia is one of the five compact countries.
The Netherlands asked if the European Commission is doing anything in reintegration
support (plans or projects) in Ethiopia. DG HOME clarified that projects are ongoing. A
workshop on reintegration in which the Ethiopians will participate is going to be
organised in January 2017 in Brussels.
CAMM India
DG HOME informed that there was no official answer regarding the date of the next
High Level Dialogue on Migration and Mobility with India (in Brussels) to which India
was invited in 2016. An FPI funded project to support CAMM’s implementation has
been recently approved. This should boost the dialogue with India in 2017.
CAMM update Brazil
Despite the continuous attempts of the Commission (and the EU delegation in Brazil),
neither the political dialogue on the CAMM nor the effective implementation of a
project funded by FPI to support in the CAMM preparation have progressed. The
Commission and EEAS will continue following closely a push for a constructive
dialogue with Brazil in 2017. Portugal, leading country on implementing the CAMM in
Brazil, reminded that the Portuguese authorities keep in close cooperation with the
Brazilian authorities hoping to be able to start implementing the action in 2017 –
4
everything is ready to start. Some adjustments to the calendar will need to be done
concerning the implementation period of the action.
Implementation of the GAMM vis-à-vis Southern Neighbourhood countries
Mobility Partnership with Jordan
DG HOME informed that a mapping on all migration related initiatives financed and
implemented by the Commission in Jordan since 2014 is ongoing. Member States were
requested to provide inputs to the mapping exercise so to encompass actions managed
directly by them. Knowing the state of art will allow setting priorities for future actions
covering needs not yet addressed.
DG HOME presented the idea of calling for a Neighbourhood South regional workshop
in the first half of 2017. The purpose of the workshop will be to share best practices
conduced within the Mobility Partnerships and identify future areas of cooperation,
which could lead to the submission of grant applications under the MPF. The workshop
could serve to launch a high-level meeting with the Jordan authorities under the MP to
encourage more initiatives under the MP in Jordan. ETF mentioned it would be
interested in presenting in the workshops the conclusion of a mapping exercise on
Lebanon and Jordan in the process of being finalised.
Afternoon session
The afternoon session was dedicated to the presentation of several projects/best
practices. Detailed presentations are annexed to the minutes.
State of play on the regional programmes for the Neighbourhood South
Update on Euromed Migration IV
The project focuses on North African countries becoming a point of destination for
migrants. A Euromed Meeting shall be organised in 2017 during which studies will be
presented. The project will also launch an activity on migration journalism during the
forthcoming Maltese presidency.
Update on the Mediterranean City to City Migration Profile
This project started in 2015 covering nine cities. Its main purposes are to promote
dialogue between the cities and to promote knowledge. For the dialogue component
several dialogues were held in different cities. For the knowledge component, city
stakeholders have convened three times and the next activities will be a peer to peer
meeting and identification of new cities mainly in the MENA region.
Mobility partnership with Tunisia - session on best practices on AVRR to Tunisia
Commission's presentation
As a follow-up to the High level meeting of the EU Tunisia Mobility partnership held in
October 2016, DG HOME indicated that an efficient and sustainable return and
reintegration is part and parcel of a comprehensive and holistic migration policy as
stated in the European Agenda on Migration, adopted in May 2015. According to EU
return policy, voluntary return is the preferred option. The EU supports assisted
voluntary returns and reintegration (AVRR) under the national AMIF programmes and
5
the MS often work with IOM to implement them. Differences exist in the assistance
provided between the MS and IOM has indicated the need for harmonisation.
Over the period 2009-2013, the proportion of assisted voluntary returns out of the
number of returns affected, has increased from 14% to 33% in 22 Member States.
Between 1st January 2013 and 1st July 2014, 26 Member States (except CY)
implemented 48 AVR programmes for a period of twelve months. The total budget of
the 48 AVR programmes amounts to around 105 million Euro and 53,639 migrants
were assisted. AVR programmes commonly cover the costs for the following type of inkind assistance prior to departure: Information and counselling to migrants; Support to
obtain travel documents; Internal transportation in the Member State (for instance, to go
to the airport); Transportation to the country of return. Under AVR programmes,
migrants do not receive more than a few hundred Euro to cover the first needs during
the travel and immediately after arrival.
Due to the influx of migrants this and last year AVRR initiatives have become more
important. The EU is seeking tailor made partnerships (New Partnership Framework on
migration adopted in June 2016) with key third countries of origin and transit using all
policies and instruments at the EU's disposal to achieve concrete results. One objective
is to increase returns.
In the EU-Tunisia mobility partnership signed in 2014 (objective 14), the EU and
Tunisia committed to work together to support initiatives facilitating the voluntary
departure of the Tunisian irregular migrants, by offering in certain conditions support
for their socio-economic reintegration. The Lemma project which supports the
implementation of the mobility partnership contains a pillar on returns.
Tunisia is an important country of emigration, both regular and irregular. After 2011,
the country experienced a doubling of emigration to the EU compared to the period
2005-2010. Irregular migration picked in 2011 with nearly 28,000 arrivals in Italy
alone.
In 2015, 10.235 return decisions were issued concerning irregular migrants identified as
Tunisians and 3.325 effective returns took place (with most concerned MS being Italy
and France).
DG HOME indicated that to enhance the sustainability of returns to Tunisia and other
countries of origins, there is a need for tailored reintegration assistance based on a) the
individual needs of each migrant and its community and b) on the conditions and
economic opportunities in the country of origin.
In 2014, the EU awarded a grant to IOM for the project "Enhancing the sustainability of
reintegration schemes for migrants returning to Morocco, Tunisia and Senegal (socalled MoTuSe).
DG HOME indicated that through the Trust Fund, the EU will also contribute to the
setting up of a public service in Tunisia facilitating the reintegration of Tunisian
returnees in all its aspects, such as social support or access to employment.
Unfortunately due to an illness, the representative from Switzerland could not be
present at the meeting but Switzerland offered to pass on written information on a
programme of assisted voluntary return to Tunisia carried out between 2012 and 2015
and identified as best practice by the Tunisian authorities. This information will be
joined to the minutes of the meeting.
IOM's presentation
6
In 2015, IOM assisted 69,540 migrants too voluntarily return to their country of origin,
with only 60 to Tunisia (91 so far in 2016). In comparison, 324 migrants were returned
to Algeria and 1322 to Morocco with AVRR. In 2015, returns from Tunisia was also
significant with 943 being assisted under the auspices of AVRR. The services provided
include as per in Europe, counselling, pre departure assistance
IOM is running 75 AVRR programmes available for Tunisians returning from Europe.
Some of them are generic and some specific for certain categories of migrants.
IOM indicated that reintegration is a key factor in minimizing migrant vulnerability
upon return, supporting migrants to re-start their lives within communities of return.
The challenges of the various reintegration packages and of cash assistance versus in
kind assistance were highlighted.
IOM indicated that programmes such as that from Switzerland, Belgium, Italy to name a
few have been innovative in nature. The MoTuSe project was also considered
innovative for three main reasons: i) Provision of tailored assistance to migrants
returning from Europe to Tunisia with enhanced reintegration assistance, ii)
Development of partnerships with local stakeholders in Tunisia and iii) Mapping of
needs of communities of origin
IOM representative concluded that AVRR programmes should be more about ensuring
a sustainable return and less about numbers.
In the discussion that followed this presentation, IOM indicated that it is very difficult
to explain such a low intake AVRR to Tunisia. The low intake could partly be due to
the push pull factors and the profile of the irregular migrants from Tunisia. As a
solution to understand this phenomenon, IOM advocated for tailor specific country
programmes and information channels rather than adopting a general strategy and for
surveying the diaspora in Europe to understand what would motivate them to return. In
this regard, it was given the example of Iraq, where a mapping exercise was made
according to the needs of certain economic sectors and the identification of
opportunities in the car industry, thus provoking an increase on returns (more than 11
000 in 2015). A detailed presentation is annexed to the minutes.
A Tunisian perspective
The representative from the Tunisian mission to the EU indicated that Tunisia has
adopted a global approach to migration and for AVR. Tunisia addressing recent
agreements in this area, including the accord de gestion concertee de la migration
concluded with France in 2008 and the last one which was concluded with Switzerland
on voluntary return assistance and professional integration. He recalled the illegal
immigration vague of 2011/2012 and indicated that now the authorities are alert and that
irregular migration is currently almost non-existing. The support of the EU on voluntary
returns was touched upon in the framework of the Lemma Project. Tunisia also
mentioned that the recently approved Trust fund project which will create a platform of
support in the regions of potential migration with the purpose of giving a social support
on the settling down process of vulnerable people and of accompanying the return
migrants in Tunisia finding a job or opening their own business for a 12-month period.
Lastly, the need to create mechanisms which can allow a smooth socio economic
integration (access to microcredit, among others) was raised.

OFII Presentation
OFII gave a detailed presentation of the Lemma project in the field of return and
reintegration. The main objectives have been summarised as follows:




Reinforcement of the Tunisian capacities (public and non public) to favour
economic and social reintegration (Mapping of stakeholders and return and
reintegrating mechanisms)
Support to the government in the definition and development of a master plan on
return and reintegration.
Support to the Tunisian public authorities in charge of returning migrants
reinsertion.
Mutualisation of reinsertion pilot project.
Annexed to the minutes a detailed presentation on AVRR in Tunisia is provided.
Belgium - FEDASIL
FEDASIL representative indicated that Belgium works both with Caritas and IOM for
its AVRR programmes. In 2015, 10 migrants returned to Tunisia through an AVRR
programme. The average profiles of a migrant consist in young men not known by the
authorities who mostly came to Belgium through a valid visa, family reunification or
irregular migration. This profile was said to a potential reason why there are a limited
number of Tunisian irregular migrants returning to Tunisia through AVRR.
Belgium - IREVAN
The objectives of the IREVAN project, financed under the Regional Development and
Protection Programme for North Africa were presented. This project aims to build the
capacity of the Tunisian and Moroccan authorities to return migrants to their countries
of origin.
DG Home stressed the convergence of the AVRR programmes presented during the
session and indicated that the EU and Tunisia have a good framework in place to make
considerable progress both for returns to Tunisia and from Tunisia.
Lastly, DG HOME mentioned the issue of organising a similar focussed thematic
session on unaccompanied minors in a next GAMM expert meeting. It was also
suggested that Member States are welcome to indicate their willingness to make
presentations on this topic.
Switzerland and AVRR
Switzerland presented an AVRR programme which ran between 2012 and 2015. Those
programmes were identified as by the Tunisian authorities. The main highlights of the
programmes were:
 The reason why the programme was stopped is because of the low number of
participants. Due to the cost effectiveness reasons, the Switzerland State
Secretariat decided to stop the programme. Tunisian authorities regretted but
understood the reasons.

During the second and third phase of the programme, migrants concerned by the
Dublin procedure (included during the first phase of the programme) have been
excluded. The reasons for exclusion was due to a significant number of Tunisian
8
migrants from Italy towards Switzerland due to the programme's attractiveness.
For this reason the number of participants' dramatically decreased.

Following the programme's halt in 2015, Switzerland went back to the standard
aid which falls under the asylum domain.

Since the start of the year, Switzerland does not propose any more specific
country programmes. It is not excluded that in the future new country
programmes will be launched, this will depend on the evolution of asylum
demands in Switzerland and in the situation in the country of origin.
A detailed presentation of the project is annexed to the minutes
“ Support to a rights-based Migration Management and Asylum System in Libya”
project
ICMPD made a presentation on the project singed in 2014 and suspended until recently
due to the current political situation in the country. The aim of the project is to review
the legal and policy framework, support national capacity building, promote a national
dialogue on migration and facilitate Libya's reintegration in regional and international
migration dialogues and cooperation. In the inception report recently submitted ICMPD
advanced a series of recommendation on improving migration coordination with Libya.
An update on the security and political situation in the country was also provided. An
insight on the political impact on the smuggling business was highlighted.
Following the presentation, Frontex inquired if ICMPD is having contacts with
EUBAM Libya. ICMPD responded that regular meetings with this partner are being
frequently held in Tunis and that a joint mapping exercise is ongoing.
Sweden inquired on the security situation in the country, more particularly if Sirte was
still under ISIS' occupation. On this point, ICMPD clarified that the city has already
been officially liberated thus ISIS is officially not there anymore. However, they noted
that no one is really sure where ISIS occupants went to afterwards.
Eastern Partnership – Integrated Border Management – Capacity building
regional project
Frontex made a presentation on this project which targets borders and customs
personnel of the Eastern Partnership countries.
The project's main objective is to facilitate movement of persons and goods across
borders in six Easter Partnership countries while maintain secure borders, enhancing
inter agency, bilateral and multi-lateral cooperation. The project which started in 2014
trained 611 government officials, 320 border guards, 291 customs officials, carried out
41 trainings and implemented 6 activities. The midterm evaluation gave a positive
assessment in qualify performance, implementation and achieved results and
recommended a continuation of the project.
Mobility partnership with Moldova
DG HOME informed on the outcomes of the High-Level Mobility partnership meeting
held on 2 December in Brussels. One of the main results is the updated list of priorities
for 2017, which proposes a balanced approach in addressing the four pillars of the
9
GAMM. Moldova expressed strong willingness to cooperate in many areas and is
waiting for inputs, especially from Member States.
Mobility partnership with Azerbaijan
DG HOME informed that Azerbaijan welcomes a first High-Level mobility partnership
meeting to enhance the partnership. A meeting could be organised by Q1 2017. In this
occurrence a discussion on project priorities would help identifying concrete project

management, assistance to vulnerable migrants, counter trafficking in persons, AVRR,
counter-trafficking and the private sector, immigration detention alternatives.
Italy questioned if the partners on the project were all from the Azerbaijani government,
calling for a bigger involvement of Member States in this kind of projects whenever
possible. On this point, IOM clarified that it engages with partners very regularly and
that it is heavily involving Member States experts who are providing a very positive
contribution. This project contributes to peer-to-peer exchanges.
A detailed presentation of the project is annexed to the minutes.
ICMPD presentation on the MOBILAZE project
ICMD presented the project running from January 2016 till January 2019. The project
