European Court of Justice says Frontex agency was not responsible for asylum processes in landmark case decision
“Since Frontex does not have the power to assess the merits of return decisions or applications for international protection, that EU agency cannot be held liable for any damage related to the return of those refugees to Türkiye,” the court in Luxembourg ruled.
His case was brought by the Amsterdam lawyers Prakken d’Oliveira and supported by the Dutch Council for Refugees, the campaign group BKB, Sea-Watch Legal Aid Fund and Jungle Minds, a business innovation studio. “It is the member states alone that are competent to assess the merits of return decisions and to examine applications for international protection,” it said in a statement.
