Annual Report 2015 - Spain’s National Preventive Mechanism Video recording §359 AR 2014 118.  A Recommendation has been put forward that the necessary measures be adopted to enable video recording during the course of the deportation operations organised by Spain. The DGP recognises that video recording may be a useful instrument for documenting incidents which arise during operations, but argues that this matter should be subject to the agreement of FRONTEX and the other participating member states. FRONTEX has raised the following issues: the legal framework of some states, the security of the officers and crew members, data protection, storage of recordings, the dignity of the foreign nationals being deported, the reluctance of airlines and airport authorities, and even the hostile atmosphere that video recording could cause.

FRONTEX agrees that a complaints form should be established for foreign nationals who are deported. This matter will therefore be investigated.

The NPM has therefore highlighted the benefit of silk screen printing the number of each agent onto their vest, a proposal which has been accepted and is pending allocation of budget. Training of officers 121.  The complexity of foreign national deportation operations highlights the importance of using highly qualified officers in order to guarantee
