Legal opinion on the refoulement practice under the German-Greek »Seehofer Agreement«
May 2019
Legal opinion by Prof. Dr. Anna Lübbe on the compatibility of the refoulement practice under the German-Greek »Seehofer Agreement« with Union-law requirements for effective legal remedies.
The analysed case raises many legal questions about German and European law, e.g. on the admissibility of internal border checks, the limits to entry refusals and detentions for asylum seekers, the modifiability of Dublin procedures, dealing with asylum seekers who are recognisable as especially vulnerable, and legal remedy.
