    European Asylum Support Office

    EASO is an agency of the European Union that plays a key role in the concrete development of the Common European Asylum System (CEAS). It was established with the aim of enhancing practical cooperation on asylum matters and helping Member States fulfil their European and international obligations to give protection to people in need.

    Article 6 of the EASO founding regulation (1) (hereinafter the Regulation) specifies that the Agency shall establish and develop training available to members of courts and tribunals in the Member States. For this purpose, EASO shall take advantage of the expertise of academic institutions and other relevant organisations, and take into account the Union’s existing coop-eration in the field with full respect to the independence of national courts and tribunals.

    (1) Regulation (EU) No 439/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 May 2010 establishing a European Asylum Support Office [2010] OJ L 132/11.

  • 4 — Detention of applicants for international protection in the context of the Common European Asylum System

    Contributors

    This Compilation of Jurisprudence has been developed by a working group consisting of judges Aikaterini Koutsopoulou (Greece, working group co-coordinator), Julian Phillips (United King-dom, working group co-coordinator), Judith Putzer (Austria), Dobroslav Rukov (Bulgaria), Marie-Cécile Moulin-Zys (France), Ulrich Drews (Germany), Jure Likar (Slovenia), and legal assistant to the court Lenka Horáková (Czech Republic) and Samuel Boutruche (UNHCR).

    They have been invited for this purpose by the European Asylum Support Office (EASO) in accordance with the methodology set out in Appendix C of the Judicial Analysis. The recruit-ment of the members of the working group was carried out in accordance with the scheme agreed between EASO and the members of the EASO network of court and tribunal members. The working group itself met on four occasions in March, April, June and October of 2018 in Malta.

    This chapter will be updated in accordance with the methodology set out in Appendix B of the judicial analysis.
