Despite containing certain points with which we agree, this report also assumes the repressive security-oriented view of ‘illegal immigration’.
Although less so with regard to certain aspects, the report advocates developing the main axes of the current EU guidelines and decisions on immigration, including: the so-called ‘European return policy’ or, in other words, repatriation; the activity of Frontex in terms of border patrol and control; the so-called ‘temporary reception centres’; the development of biometric tools, or the so-called ‘readmission agreements’. The report also proposes setting up ‘European patrols’, a ‘European monitoring system’ at the sea borders and even a system for ‘automated checks on persons entering or leaving Union territory’.
In other words, the report aims to reinforce the EU’s security-oriented policy of criminalising ‘illegal immigration’ by turning it into a common European policy which is repressive, involves sinister information systems and includes measures and infrastructure for the detention and expulsion of immigrants. We wholeheartedly reject this.
It was the application of a repressive policy like this which led to the authorities of a Member State prosecuting seven Tunisian fishermen for having saved 44 people at sea, despite this action complying with international maritime law."@en1
