EASO newsletter: a new approach to country of origin information

Date: 
Friday, October 4, 2013

EASO's newsletter for March 2013 contains a section on a new proposal aimed at linking EASO's different COI-related activities into one coherent structure entitled "EASO COI Network approach". The proposal comprises the creation of a Strategic COI Network composed of COI heads of units or experts from the Member States, associated countries, the EU Commission and UNHCR which would discuss issues at a strategic level, and the setting up of specific expert networks on specific countries, regions or themes to exchange information and harmonize COI practices. These would also produce, if need be, EU-level COI.


The newsletter also has articles on asylum statistics, training activities and analysis of EASO's activity in family tracing.
