The EU Commission operates (at least in part) by discussing reports prepared for it, where the reports they are discussing may not be public, but the existence of discussions may be public, and then decisions may be made accordingly, and from time time it issues Press releases
for information but
NOT for discussion about the discussions under way and the decisions reached.
To an averagely intelligent person, a press release for discussion and a "draft report" that has NOT been made public does NOT issue the policies of the EU Commission that HAVE been adopted. They are released LATER. Hence using the term 'not public' in your link.
But the the press release is
NOT FOR DISCUSSION,
ONLY INFORMATION, which as you are plainly not an averagely intelligent person you do not seem to recognise, but rather play YOUR usual games of distortion and lying to try to make the facts about what the Press release is fit your fictional world.
In that respect pray tell me, in a document headed press release, where in it is there any mechanism set out to discuss or comment on the press release, let alone the topic which the EU Commision is debating, and which PRESS RELEASE is NOT a Discussion document, even where it may use the word discussion in several times, but on its own terms is only press release, ie for information?
Otherwise does the Newsroom of the EU issue policy documents for discussion, as opposed to simply report on what is being done by the actual policy/decision making bodies under the instruction of those bodies?
Here is what it does
About this site
The EU Newsroom is the official news website of the institutions of the European Union. It provides online access to the latest official press material released by all EU institutions, as well as practical information for journalists.
The actual Schengen Evaluation Report (discussed in the Press Release) is accessible as a hyperlink from the Press Release discussion and was dealt with separately. (But Erolz seems to have hyperlinked into a vacuum). It is a report on several countries and worth a read.
I have quoted what was said on Greece. However as I have pointed out, the 8th Biennial report you are relying issued 15th Jan 2016 (a) is NOT an evaluation report on Greece per se but a general summary with comments on many aspects in all parts of the EU and which refers to Evaluation reports on individual countries made under the evaluation mechanism. The comments made about Greece were superseded and/or supplemented by the later discussions on the Evaluation report on Greece, reported on by Press releases on 27th Jan and 3rd Feb. That document is thus out of date as far as Greece is concerned.
