EU : FRONTEX AND ANTI-TERRORIST CONTROLS

FRONTEX was created in 2004 with the aim of ensuring controls at all entry points into the EU.  It applies the fundamental principles of the 1985 Schengen Treaty, such as the right of free movement and asylum in all countries for citizens of Schengen area countries. 

The 1999 Treaty of Amsterdam was hastily pushed through and introduced more measures to help the fight against crime, but they may not be sufficient to fight conspiracies by international gangs of Islamic Terrorists.  Not only Immigrants must be controled but also EU Migrants. 

Frontex already has an "Information Echange System" called EUROSUR.  This information base could help but is its design adequate for the new current objectives, i.e. "tracking" International Terrorists ?  Other countries also have systems, like the USA.  

Are the systems which Frontex and some EU countries already have, capable of automatic information exchanges ? 

To fight terrorism efficient systems and laws are required !  This means legislators must introduce more cohesion which also means redefining certain sacred EU principles.  Courts and Judges  are there to apply only the law as it stands !  

Judges are not there to make creative interpretations of badly drafted laws, which then destroy the Human Rights of defendents !
