<p>The UK has a strong relationship with Greece on our shared migration objectives.
We continue to offer support to the Greek Government to alleviate the pressures on
the islands and deliver sustainable improvements within the Greek migration system.
This includes, until the end of March 2020, deployment of interpreters to the Reception
and Identification Service on the Greek islands to support the processing of migrants
and the identification of those most vulnerable. Our large-scale humanitarian programming
ended in 2017 when the Greek Government took over the humanitarian response, with
€1.3 billion of EU funds made available. The UK recently agreed an additional contribution
of £510,000 to provide urgently needed humanitarian goods for migrants in Greece this
winter.</p><p> </p>
