Ex-post control
In its statement to the AOB, the regional government of the Land Carinthia stressed
in particular that both properties for which complaints were received were closed
during the AOB’s investigation. The regional government of Burgenland informed
the AOB that additional, in some cases new, personnel were assigned to the basic
care unit as a response to the AOB’s investigation and that additional changes
were also implemented.
Writing to the AOB, the Federal Ministry of the Interior stressed its efforts to develop
uniform standards for basic care of foreigners across the country, particularly in
relation to quality management. The Coordination Council of the Federal Government
and the Laender set up a working group for this purpose at the start of 2013.
According to media reports, the Laender, at the time that this report was compiled,
had agreed on a draft for uniform minimum standards across the country.
Draft for minimum
standards for the
whole country
Hopefully, this will lead to fundamental improvements. All Laender, not just those
subject to investigations, should examine whether their accommodation for
asylum-seekers conforms with national and international requirements. The AOB
will continue to follow up all complaints regarding care for asylum-seekers.
Individual cases: VA-K-SOZ/0025-A/1/2011, VA-B-SOZ/0015-A/1/2011 etc.
