Notes
1. EMLOs work in close cooperation with the immigration liaison officers' (ILOs) network and with local authorities and civil society, with the purpose of inter alia gathering, exchanging and analysing information.
2.To avoid the duplication of tasks and ensure ILOs Network effectiveness, EMLOs are not supposed to interfere in national competences and interests of ILOs, but are supposed to coordinate and support the ILOs Network, facilitate the contacts between the ILOs by organising regular meetings and also support the ILOs in the contacts with third country authorities.
3. EMLOs primarily represent the interests of the EU as a whole vis-à-vis host country authorities and address EU information needs on irregular migration.
