As you probably know, in its annual work programmes, the Agency for External Borders will, on the basis of the results of its risk analysis, identify a number of operational activities to be carried out each year by Member States together with the agency. In addition, Member States can also put forward proposals for joint operations and pilot projects which the agency may then decide to co-finance. The agency shall evaluate the results of all operational activities carried out under its aegis. If Member States carry out operations at external borders outside the framework of the agency, they shall report on such activities to the agency.
As regards the joint return operations, it follows from Article 2 of Council Regulation (EC) No 2007/2004 that the agency shall provide Member States with all necessary support in organising joint return operations. The agency will at this stage not carry out return operations itself, but only provide technical assistance to Member States. In this context, it should also be noted that the agency shall identify best practices on the acquisition of travel documents and the removal of illegally present third country nationals.
A credible European migration policy necessitates the use of return operations in order to uphold the integrity and effectiveness of the asylum and immigration systems of the Member States. However, such return operations must always be carried out in full respect of the human rights and safety of returnees. The Commission expects the agency to play a major role in developing and promoting at European level the highest possible standards in this regard.
The Hague programme asked for the establishment of common standards for persons to be returned in a humane manner and with full respect for their human rights and dignity. It called for the submission of a Commission proposal.
On 1 September 2005, the Commission adopted a proposal for a directive providing for clear, transparent and fair common rules concerning returns, removal, temporary custody and re-entry which take into full account, I repeat, respect for the human rights and fundamental freedoms of the person or persons concerned.
Finally, as regards the internal organisation of the agency, the Commission can inform you that the management board of the agency decided on 30 June 2005 to launch an evaluation of the need for establishing specialised branches on the basis of the results of this evaluation. The management board will decide if and where the agency shall establish specialised branches."@en1
