Grensbewaking, Frontex en migratiecontrole

Op 26 juni organiseerde de groene fractie in het Europees Parlement een conferentie over grensbewaking en migratiecontrole in Europa.

The European Union is significantly stepping up the surveillance of its external borders. Three policy proposals are currently on the table: the European Border Surveillance System (EUROSUR), „Smart Borders“ and EU-PNR. They are geared towards curbing irregular migration and terrorist threats by turning the Mediterranean Sea into a zone of heavy surveillance, by establishing one of the biggest fingerprint databases in the world and by increasing the surveillance of all passengers crossing EU external borders.
