The present Country Dossier discusses the legal and institutional framework governingreturns in Greece and highlights a number of gaps in terms of legal certainty, consistency andguaranties. The legal framework is characterised by ambiguity, mainly due to preceding legalarrangements on ‘administrative expulsion’ that remain in force. Particularly, Law 3907/2011which transposed the Return Directive 2008/115/EC into the Greek legislation anddetermines the operation of returns, coexists with Law 3386/2005 concerning theadministrative expulsions of Third Country Nationals. An additional complexity also arises asregards the multiple national, supranational and international actors involved in returns.
