Open Reception Facilities operate in the Greek mainland to provide collective temporary housing to asylum seekers, refugees or persons who are exempted from the return procedure/or whose removal has been postponed. Most are camplike facilities with housing units (containers), while some are in buildings. A few have been officially established under Reception and Identification Service (RIS) according to the legal framework which foresees that RIS can operate Open Facilities for the Temporary Reception of Asylum Seekers / Open Facilities for the Temporary Accommodation of Third Country Nationals who are exempted from the return procedure/or whose removal has been postponed. The majority have not yet been officially established, instead they operate under emergency modalities with the involvement of the Hellenic Army while their official establishment under RIS (L.4375/216) is pending. 2. In accordance with the Greek Law, 6 Reception and Identification Centres (RICs) are established under the Ministry Of Migration PolicyGeneral Secretariat of Reception at the border locations for the initial administrative treatment of new arrivals in Greece, in particular for the application of the reception and identification procedures (registration/identification, medical and psychosocial screening, provision of information, identification and referrals of persons with specific, final referral to further administrative treatment). In accordance with L. 4375/216, new arrivals are restricted in the RICs for a maximum period of 25 days until the reception and identification procedures are completed. Since the EUTurkey Statement in March 216, five RICs on the islands operate as registration centres as well as de facto as open accommodation sites for asylum seekers and persons under the return/readmission procedure hosting refugees and migrants beyond 25 days and until the finalisation of the asylum and readmission procedures. The RIC in Fylakio at the land border of Evros is the only one that operates as a closed facility for the purpose of registration for up to 25 days.
