Fine-tuning EU border security
01/01/0001
Organiser : Security & Defence Agenda (SDA - Belgium)
A Security & Defence Agenda (SDA) Roundtable - Brussels - 29 september 2010
 
Europe's free movement of people and the borderless Shengen zone has seen a growing emphasis on policing the EU's external borders. But it is far from clear whether the policy responses of national governments and of the EU institutions themselves have been cost-effective or indeed effective at all. What methods seem best suited to stemming illegal immigration and addressing organised criminal activities like drug smuggling and human trafficking? With EU policymakers concerned to standardise practices that range from the repatriation of undesirables to personal passenger data, what level of EU-wide coordination is desirable?

Tightening up the border security procedures needed to protect EU citizens is one thing, deciding who and what they are being protected against is quite another. How much consensus is there in the EU27 on migration policies best suited to Europe, and what needs to be agreed on if the EU is to have a coherent approach to its long-term demographic problems and skill shortages? Are the EU institutions giving a clear political lead on a future European border strategy, and what should the policy agenda now look like?

The debate will be opened by Stefano Manservisi, Director General for Home Affairs at the European Commission
