On 16 December 2020, during its winter session, the Conference of INGOs organised a debate on "Access to migrants, refugees and asylum seekers by NGOs". The debate was based on the preliminary findings on concrete situations after consultations within civil society groups in Greece. Topics of discussion between representatives of the grassroot civil organisations and of the Council of Experts on NGO Law of the Conference of INGOs included the Greek legislation on the registration and certification of Greek and foreign NGOs, the work of the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture or the Migration Committee (CPT), and a presentation of the Parliamentary Assembly Recommendation and Resolution on the "Rights and Obligations of NGOs assisting refugees and migrants in Europe". The participants were able to show relevance of the issue through the respect of human rights as well as the commitment to the Rule of Law and Democracy, and they underlined the importance of the NGOs humanitarian work and their access to the migrant population.
