FRONTEX was created by the EU in 2005 with the aim of co-ordinating the efforts of all EU countries to control their external borders. This involves a great deal of work because every one of the 28 countries has an airport, train link or direct frontier with a non-EU country.
The Head Office of Frontex is located in an imposing building in Warsaw ! Its costs are paid by Brussels but the budget limits the amount of work which Frontex can undertake. Likewise some countries in the EU are reluctant to spend more than what they think is enough to control their own borders.
It is quite clear from the above summary that the control of EU frontiers is totally inadequate. The result is that almost anyone can illegally enter the EU and this is an inacceptable danger ! The proof is that long term illegal immigrants are regularly discovered.
There is only one system which can effectively limit unwanted immigrants for whatever reason. Official EU Identity Cards ! Permanent ID Cards for EU residents and Temporary ID Cards for every Visitor for a specified short period of time. The country which issues an Identity Card remains responsible for that person !
This system is onerous and costly but necessary ! It should have been installed long ago ! Everyone knows that the USA has for a long time protected itself against unwanted visitors.
It is the duty of the EU Council of Ministers and the EU Commission to impose a suitable system for the benefit and security of Member Countries and their taxpayers ! The previous article in this Blog (1) reminds readers how electors recently voted.
