CAT/OP/ITA/1/Add.1 extraordinary and temporary measures of reception (the so-called CAS, standing for Extraordinary Reception Centres), should accommodations in the above-mentioned facilities lack. 22. Articles 18 and 19 provide for principles and pathways for the reception of minors. The Italian reception system 23. The overall picture of the first reception, from 2014 onwards, has gone through an evolutionary process, both with regard to the number of the facilities concerned and the functions performed at some of them. 24. For the purposes of the very first reception and identification of migrants rescued at sea by the vessels engaged in patrol operations and in accordance with the above-mentioned Road-map, some Municipalities - where landings take place - have been identified as Hotspots, including Lampedusa Island, Trapani, Pozzallo (RG), and Taranto. 25. Hotspots allow not only the health-care screening, but also the cataloguing/preidentification of all migrants before their transfer to reception Centres. 26. For each Hotspot, an additional Center has been identified for the reception of migrants from countries that allow relocation processes. In this regard, UNHCR, EASO and IOM organize dedicated information sessions. 27. For the purposes of the first reception, Centres defined as Hubs in the Plan approved on 10 July 2014 and in the above-mentioned Roadmap (and now referred to as the First Reception Centres under Article 9 of Legislative Decree No. 142/15) are open facilities, to be used in the first phase of reception of those third country nationals who have already undergone the preliminary identification procedures. These Centres have two tasks: enabling to fill in the so-called "C3" paper for international protection purposes; facilitating the transfer to the SPRAR network (the second level of reception). 28. The Centres in Siculiana, Bari, Crotone, and Rome have been also identified as Centres to be partially used for the reception of migrants to be relocated (relocandi) to other European countries. 29. Despite the increase in the places made available in the First Reception Centres of the SPRAR System, the high number of asylum-seekers makes it necessary to maintain temporary Centres activated by the Prefects pursuant to Article 11 of Legislative Decree No. 142/15 (commonly referred to as the Extraordinary Reception Centres - acronym in Italian, CAS, standing for Centri di Accoglienza Straordinaria). The capacity of this last system has increased from 35,011 (as of 31 December 2014) to 76,683 places (as of 31 December 2015). 30. Based on practices developed under the emergency measures launched under the Borders Fund, the Authority responsible for the Asylum, Migration, and Integration Fund, in collaboration with the Ministry of Health, is implementing a number of "measures to enhance the very first health-care aid during the rescue operations at sea”. In order to assist migrants landed on the national territory, this activity is carried out in close cooperation with the Coast Guards, the Guardia di Finanza (Revenue Guards Corps) and the Italian Navy, so as to ensure the presence of physicians and paramedics aboard the vessels engaged in relevant rescue operations. 31. With a view to strengthening the reception system, the competent Authority has undertaken, with regard to cases of psychological and health-care vulnerabilities, the revision of specific programs of assistance, treatment and rehabilitation, including longterm ones, for the benefit of the target groups concerned. This process envisages (a) specific operations at reception facilities and (b) integrated psycho-social care by competent 5
