Artikel 11 Protocol tussen de Benelux-Staten (het Koninkrijk België, het Groothertogdom Luxemburg, het Koninkrijk der Nederlanden) en Georgië ter uitvoering van de Overeenkomst tussen de Europese Unie en Georgië inzake de overname van personen die zonder vergunning op het grondgebied verblijven

Article 11 Obligations for escorts (Article 19, paragraph 1, of the Agreement) 1 Escorts shall comply with the law of the Requested Party in all circumstances while in its territory. 2 When carrying out readmission and transit operations, as far as they take place in the territory of the Requested Party, the authority of escorts is limited to self-defense. In addition, in the absence of authorised officers of the Requested Party or in order to assist such officers, escorts are permitted to react reasonably and proportionately to an immediate and serious threat in order to prevent the person concerned from fleeing, injuring himself or others or causing damage to property. 3 Escorts shall perform their duties unarmed and in civilian clothes. They shall be in possession of an escort authorisation, the consent for readmission or transit, and an identity document. 4 The authorities of the Requested Party shall grant the same protection and assistance to escorts performing their duties in the context of the Agreement as they do their own authorised officers.
