Dear Ms Jurczak,

Thanks for the quick response.

From the operations database I cannot deduct how many people were returned in one of the return operations. Do you have this data?

Does your agency have specific agreements with member states on return cooperation? If yes the question would refer to those.

Yours sincerely,

Michael Bauer

Dear Michael,

You said you cannot deduct how many people were returned in one of the return operations. Can you please let me know which operation are you referring to so I can provide you with the relevant information?

In terms of your second question there are no specific agreement between Frontex and the EU Member States.

Frontex assistance to the Member States in organising joint return operations is based on the Frontex Regulation Article 9. Furthermore on the Code of Conduct for Joint Return Operations, Frontex Best Practice (currently under revision), Council Decision 2004/573/EC of 29 April 2004 on the organisation of joint flights for removals from the territory of two or more Member States of third-country nationals who are subject of individual removal order and the Common Guideline on security provisions by air (Annex to the Decision). Furthermore on the Directive 2008/115/EC on common standards and procedures in Member States for returning illegally third-country nationals.

Kind regards
Justyna Jurczak

Dear Justyna,

Thanks for your reply. I noticed the 2014 mission have evaluation documents stating the number of returnees. This helps a lot. Are there evaluation reports for earlier return missions as well?

Thanks for clarifying a lot of my questions.

Yours sincerely,

Michael Bauer

Dear Michael,

If you are interested in number of returnees please have a look at Frontex General reports:
http://frontex.europa.eu/about-frontex/g...

In annexes you can find a list of Joint Operational Activities. For example in the report of 2013 the data on return joint operations are on page 60 and 61.

I hope this will be of help.

Kind regards
Justyna
