- Summary
- The overall purpose of the study was to facilitate the transposition of Article 8(6) of the Return Directive1 by providing Member States with information on best practice examples to support their efforts to develop an effective and transparent monitoring system of the forced-return of illegally staying third-country nationals. The study adopted a largely qualitative approach - gathering documentation and feedback from key stakeholders and other sources around current monitoring practices. The information provided in this study significantly draws on 30 comparative country profiles and nine best-practice case studies. The purpose of the case studies was to better understand the organisational culture alongside processes of change in countries that have already implemented a monitoring system for forced returns or are in the process of implementing a forced returns monitoring system. The latter group has been included to gain an insight as to the difficulties which may occur in the process of setting up an effective and transparent monitoring system. Moreover, the case studies were used to provide illuminating examples of best practice.
