This explains the enforcement rate of 205.5% for APRFs in 2012. This table has been drawn up from CICI reports for 2003 to 2016. Their official presentation emphasises the rates of enforcement of deportation measures and any changes in them. From the 4th report for 2006, this information was included in the general context of a policy of recording numbers in relation to deportations. The total number of deportations indicated in the annual report for 2006 (23,831) therefore includes, in addition to 22,412 measures of various types pronounced and executed, 1,419 voluntary returns. Then these "voluntary returns" were counted as being "aided returns", and the annual report was not very clear on the contents of this section. This method of counting, for 2008 and the following years, showed a "result" meeting the objective of 30,000 deportations. For these years, the table shown here contains an additional column ("forced deportations", which is in bold), which excludes voluntary or aided returns. At a press conference (31 January 2014), the Minister of the Interior provided another set of data entitled "forced departures", stating that some deportation measures that had been executed had been counted in the past as forced deportations when in fact they were aided departures. The three latest reports drafted under the provisions of Article L.111-10 of the Code for Entry and Residence of Foreigners and Right of Asylum (10th report for 2012 and published in April 2014, 11th report for 2013 and published in April 2015, and lastly the 12th report on 2014, published in April 2016) have included this distinction. For 2012 it was therefore identified that out of the 19,184 APRF and OQTF implemented, 4,954 cases related to "aided returns". This resulted in 21,847 "forced returns" being counted for 2012 instead of 26,801 as in the above table for the forced deportations column. According to this presentation, "forced returns" decreased significantly between 2009 (17,422) and 2010 (16,197) contrary to that previously shown (above table) and therefore growth for 2011 is lower (19,328). For 2014, the records also included "forced returns" and "aided returns" under forced deportations, which allowed obtaining the figure of 21,489. It should be noted that the 12th report disseminated in 2016 includes updated figures for 2015 regarding administrative detention (see next section) but only presents incomplete series for the same year regarding deportations (the total number of deportation measures pronounced is still unknown). Series from previous years have also been recalculated, without the reason and principle behind the recount being specified. Finally, we have decided to only present figures on deportation measures up to 2014, presenting the recalculated series for 2013 and 2014 as they are the most recent, although different from those presented in previous reports. Finally, and like the year before, the 12th report showing the figures for 2014 no longer differentiates the deportation measures according to the type of measure (OQTF, APRF, ITF or deportation order), and instead shows a general presentation that only differentiates between "unaided" and "aided" deportations. Only readmission measures and aided voluntary returns are still shown separately. Comment: For the years for which figures are available, the absolute level of APRFs and OQTFs enforced (15,684 in 2013) seems not to have sustainably exceeded 16,000 per annum and the 163
