The National Committee for the Social Integration of Migrants (introduced by the Law 3536/2007) is comprised by General Secretaries of eight ministries, the President of the Hellenic Migration Policy Institute (shut down in May 2010 after a decision of the Minister of Interior), representatives of local authorities, of the Greek-orthodox Church, University Professors, and representatives of parliamentary political parties, trade unions, associations of employers, of the International Organisation for Migration and of the Athens Bar Association. No migrant organisations neither NGOs supporting migrants are entitled to participate. Anti-racist, anti-discrimination and victim group organisations are called for consulting at the Parliament (see for example, http://www.africanwomen.gr/?p=686) or in the case of preparation of specific legislation, e.g. the revision of asylum regulation (2010-2011). |
