Notes

  1. The SOPs should be adopted by the host Member State as early as possible prior to the start of hotspot operations and take the form of a legal act, governmental or ministerial decision or circular, depending on the host Member State's constitutional requirements.
  2. The purpose of these best practices is to set out the key principles for ensuring that hotspots are functioning effectively and that EU Member States hosting hotspots have clear guidance on what they should do, once the hotspot approach has been activated in accordance with Article 18 of the Regulation (EU) 2016/1624 (Regulation on the European Border and Coast Guard) which contains provisions on the EU operational cooperation in hotspot areas.
  3. Hotspots are in operation in Greece and Italy, but the SOPs have so far only been adopted by Italy.
