<s>[INST] The next text is a question of a member of the European parliament:"It has been widely reported in the international and Greek press that Greece is facing an EU ultimatum to promote a series of measures that it has agreed on to manage the refugee problem. There has been talk, inter alia, of the possible suspension or even expulsion of Greece from the Schengen area.  Given that, where an assessment of the Schengen agreement identifies serious shortcomings in the checks at the external borders of an EU Member State, the Commission may issue recommendations and submit strategic plans to Frontex on the basis of a risk assessment in order to address the situation or begin to deploy European border guard teams, or, as a last resort, close a specific border crossing point, will the Commission say:      —  Has it submitted recommendations to Greece on how to improve controls at its external borders, which are also borders of the EU?      —  What shortcomings have been observed regarding Greece’s performance in guarding the EU's external borders?      —  Has the Greek Government refused to cooperate with the competent EU authorities to make controls at Europe’s external borders more secure? If so, will there be any consequences for Greece?"

It has been widely reported in the international and Greek press that Greece is facing an EU ultimatum to promote a series of measures that it has agreed on to manage the refugee problem. There has been talk, inter alia, of the possible suspension or even expulsion of Greece from the Schengen area.  Given that, where an assessment of the Schengen agreement identifies serious shortcomings in the checks at the external borders of an EU Member State, the Commission may issue recommendations and submit strategic plans to Frontex on the basis of a risk assessment in order to address the situation or begin to deploy European border guard teams, or, as a last resort, close a specific border crossing point, will the Commission say:      —  Has it submitted recommendations to Greece on how to improve controls at its external borders, which are also borders of the EU?      —  What shortcomings have been observed regarding Greece’s performance in guarding the EU's external borders?      —  Has the Greek Government refused to cooperate with the competent EU authorities to make controls at Europe’s external borders more secure?
