This pilot study is the contribution of the National Contact Point Austria within the European Migration Network (EMN) to the European Research Study Project III on “Return Migration in the EU Member States,” which was commissioned by the EU Commission 2005/06. This study is an attempt to provide an overview of the current situation of forced and voluntary return in Austria. The study makes use of miscellaneous sources: On the one hand it is based on available results of research and reports of Austrian migration researchers, and on the other hand it draws on the experiences of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and welfare organisations active in the field, which were gathered for this study through face-to-face interviews and a questionnaire. The personnel of the Unit for Coercive Measures of Aliens’ Police (Unit II/3/C) within the Federal Ministry of the Interior kindly answered some of the questions on which no information was available. The focus of the study is on the time frame from the year 2000 to the present; earlier incidents and research results were only included when relevant for the study.
