Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Managing the EU's external borders is a complex task. The land border - 12 033 km - stretches from the Norwegian land border with Russia in the north to the Greek land border with Turkey in the East, and the Spanish land borders with Morocco in Ceuta and Melilla in the south. The sea border - 32 719 km - covers maritime areas in the Mediterranean Sea, the Atlantic Ocean, the English Channel, the Baltic Sea, the North Sea, the Norwegian Sea and the Black Sea. Altogether the external border measures 44 752 km. There are 1 863 authorized Border Crossing Points (BCPs) open daily divided between 451 BCPs at the external land border, 782 BCPs at the external sea border, and 630 at the external air borders with 230 operating regular connections with Third Countries. Based on Frontex Risk Analysis Network data, the total number of passengers recorded in 2018 at the EU external borders was 577 228 100 being checked on entry into the EU and roughly the same number of persons being checked on exit. Bearing in mind that not all countries reported their figures, the actual number of passengers is estimated to even exceed 600 million.

Book excerpt: The EU is developing a border management strategy aiming at an quot;integrated and global responsequot; to the challenges posed by the phenomenon of irregular immigration through the common external borders. quot;The Southern maritime bordersquot; constitute one of the main targets addressed by this strategy. On November 2006, the European Commission published a communication calling for the reinforced management of the EU's Southern maritime borders and for the maximization of the capacities of the European Agency for the Management of Operational Cooperation at the External Borders of the Member States of the European Union - FRONTEX. This paper provides some reflections about these current policy approaches by looking at the nature, scope and practical implications of the implementation of the Integrated Border Management strategy and its relationship with a common EU immigration policy. After assessing the latest policy developments in these areas, we raise a number of questions about some of the functions and capacities carried out by FRONTEX, and present a series of vulnerabilities characterizing the joint operations coordinated by this Community body taking the example of the operations HERA I, II and III in the Canary Islands (Spain).
Download or read book Border Management in Transformation written by Johann Wagner and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-11-26 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks into the processes of change and renewal of border control and border security and management during the past 30 years after the fall of the Iron Curtain, and the immense challenges in nation-building in South-Eastern Europe after the collapse of former Yugoslavia in relation to strategic security management. The abolition of border controls within the Schengen area and simultaneous introduction of necessary replacement measures was an additional topic. The book provides an insight into which the European Union is competent in the reform and modernisation of state law enforcement agencies for ensuring effective border control, border surveillance and border management in line with the EU acquis communautaire and EU standards. In the 21st century, along with the process of globalisation, a constantly evolving security environment creates new dimensions of threats and challenges to security and stability of transnational nature. This seeks for comprehensive, multidimensional, collective and well-coordinated responses. The European Union, Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, United Nations, as well as other international organisations are able to really contribute to developing cooperative and coordinated responses to these threats by relying on its broad membership and profound expertise and experience. According to the position of the European Union, a modern, cost-benefit-oriented and effective border management system should ensure both, open borders as well as maximum of security at the same time. Thus, the Union’s endeavour is to safeguarding internal security to all member states through preventing transnational threats, combating irregular migration and any forms of cross-border crime for ensuring smooth border crossings for legitimate travellers and their belongings, goods and services. That is why the Union’s concept of Integrated Border Management has been developed to ensure effective border control and surveillance and cost-efficient management of the external borders of the European Union. The Union’s policy is and will continue to be developed on the basis of the three main areas in place: common legislation, close operational/tactical cooperation and financial solidarity. In addition, Integrated Border Management has been confirmed as a priority area for strengthening the cooperation with third countries in the European Commission’s strategic security management approach, where non-EU countries are encouraged as partners to upgrade their border security, surveillance and border management systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the human rights obligations of Frontex and its member states at the borders of Europe? Who is responsible when the rights of people crossing those borders are breached? Those are the main questions that this open access book addresses while exploring the evolution of the European integrated border management (EIBM). The mode of administration of European borders has become a complex and polymorphous affair involving multiple actors working at different levels, with different competences and powers. In this context, borders are no longer lines on a map but enmeshed in a tapestry of different actors and technologies. This evolution not only puts to test the relationship between territory and public power, but it also requires a different understanding of the responsibility for the exercise of that power by a panoply of actors. This book addresses the challenges related to the implementation of the EIBM and the human rights responsibilities that it can trigger. It entwines two separate but interlaced discourses: the first being a reflection on the concept of EIBM and its human rights impact; the second being the question of the attribution of international responsibility for violations that occurred in the implementation of the EIBM.

Download or read book The Empowerment of EU Agencies in EU Border Management written by Yichen Zhong and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-10-14 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the role of European Union (EU) agencies in the EU’s external border control policy, looking at how the empowerment of particular bodies has shaped the management of their external borders and influenced EU governance more broadly. Focusing on four key aspects of agency involvement – joint sea operations, information access, inter-agency cooperation, and international action – the book sheds light on the daily policy implementation and operational collaboration at the EU’s external borders and beyond. It finds that the agencies increasingly demonstrated the capacity to sway decision-making and implementation from within. This has led to a reduction in Member States’ policy autonomy, an increase in EU oversight over border management, and the institutionalisation of a common administrative capacity at the EU level, leading to a shift in the EU’s approach to border management towards integration. This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of border management, migration studies and asylum, EU administration and agencies, and more broadly European studies, international relations, and public administration.

Download or read book EU Borders and Shifting Internal Security written by Raphael Bossong and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-02-19 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume analyzes recent key developments in EU border management. In light of the refugee crises in the Mediterranean and the responses on the part of EU member states, this volume presents an in-depth reflection on European border practices and their political, social and economic consequences. Approaching borders as concepts in flux, the authors identify three main trends: the rise of security technologies such as the EUROSUR system, the continued externalization of EU security governance such as border mission training in third states, and the unfolding dynamics of accountability. The contributions show that internal security cooperation in Europe is far from consolidated, since both political oversight mechanisms and the definition of borders remain in flux. This edited volume makes a timely and interdisciplinary contribution to the ongoing academic and political debate on the future of open borders and legitimate security governance in Europe. It offers a valuable resource for scholars in the fields of international security and migration studies, as well as for practitioners dealing with border management mechanisms.

Download or read book Frontex and the Rising of a New Border Control Culture in Europe written by Antonia-Maria Sarantaki and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-03-02 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the rapidly expanding EU agency’s distinct role in EU border control, showing that Frontex is a prominent border control actor that reshapes the EU borders by promoting a new border control culture. Bringing culture into the analysis of Frontex, this book offers an alternative in-depth understanding of the agency’s function, focusing on the production and diffusion of border control assumptions and practices within a border control community. Based on data drawn from primary research at Frontex and two EU external borders, namely Lampedusa and Evros, this book examines Frontex’s contribution to the emergence of a new border control culture in Europe, replacing the pre-existing Schengen culture. Compared with the existing literature on Frontex, this novel account takes into consideration the evolving nature of borders and border control, discussing three contemporary challenges for the established border control regime: Brexit, the COVID-19 pandemic, and hard security preoccupations, such as the fall-out from the Russian invasion in Ukraine and the weaponisation of migration at the Greek-Turkish land border. Frontex and the Rising of a New Border Control Culture in Europe will appeal to scholars and students of border management, EU studies, migration, geography, international relations, and security, along with policymakers and practitioners with an interest in EU border control and Frontex.

Book excerpt: The Agency is proud to present to Member States and Schengen Associated Countries the catalogue of services to support their activities aimed at securing their external borders. In line with our principles, KNOW, SUPPORT and BUILD, they range from border protection to detection of cross-border crime and return. The services contribute to the application of an intelligence-led and effect-oriented approach to operational activities of the Agency. The situational monitoring and awareness services are aimed at operational actors and support the planning of adequate operational responses to the challenges at EU's external borders. They also support the decision-making in border management and border security at EU and national levels, covering all aspects of the European Integrated Border Management (border control, search and rescue in situations that may rise during border surveillance operations, risk analysis, cooperation with third countries, technical and operational measures within the Schengen area, return of third country nationals, use of state-of-the-art technology, quality control mechanism and solidarity mechanisms). The maritime dimension also forms a large part of the services, in line with the development of Coast Guard functions entrusted to the Agency. It mobilises and fuses wide sources of information from human intelligence sources, patrolling activities, aerial surveillance and satellite imagery.
