The EASO COI Portal is a gateway to Country of Origin Information (COI) produced by EU+ states and EASO in the context of asylum procedures. It also provides selected COI authored by EU institutions, such as the European Parliament and the External Action Service (EEAS). COI produced by other organisations (non-governmental organisations, international organisations, research institutes, etc.) is not collected in the Portal since such information can be easily accessed via other complementary platforms such as ecoi.net or Refworld. It provides carefully selected information on countries of origin to assist asylum practitioners (COI researchers, caseworkers, decisions and policy makers, lawyers, legal aid providers and judges). It allows users to be updated on COI events and publications and on COI workshops or conferences organised by EASO. EASO COI Portal, was launched in early 2016.The European Asylum Support Office (EASO) published a Country of Origin Information (COI) Report entitled ‘Russian Federation – State Actors of Protection’ in March 2017. The report provided an overview on aspects related to the state protection functions identified as central from a citizen’s perspective – the official institutions that constitute the guarantee for the individual’s possibility to exercise his or her rights. In 2016, the Russian Federation ranked 9th in the top countries of origin in EU+ countries, with a total of 26,550 applicants. |
