Contacting the competent authority about the legal representative is necessary in certain circumstances. One such ‘circumstance’ arises when challenging a removal order. Another case would be, for example, if the HSP becomes aware of terrorist content involving an imminent threat to life or a terrorist act without a removal order. In this case, the HSP is required to delete it immediately and inform the competent authority of the EU Member State affected by it (TCO Regulation, Art. 14.5).
Most competent authorities of EU Member States have already set up contact points. An up-to-date list including contact details can be found on the website of the European Commission here.
To find out who is the competent authority and contact point of the respective EU Member State, just click on the country. (This visualization is based on EU information as of June 2023.)
