"The own-initiative report on EU border management is important as it will act as a guide for the legislation which the EC will propose in 2009. As the PPE-DE rapporteur, I believe that the text must provide clearer support for preparing the next steps in integrated border management.
With regard to the EU entry/exit system, part of the data required to create this system was already collected by systems such as VIS, SIS and EURODAC. The Commission must manage the interconnection of these systems and expand their functionality in order to streamline costs.
The option for EU citizens to use automated gates as part of the Registered ‘Bona Fide’ Traveller Programme is welcome as it will help speed up traveller flows and prevent congestion. However, I have suggested changing the term ‘bona fide traveller’ to ‘frequent traveller’ to prevent the remaining travellers being considered as ‘high-risk’.
Creating the Electronic System of Travel Authorisation is not justified financially. This is why I have suggested its replacement with the compulsory use of biometric passports by third country citizens not requiring a visa when entering the EU.
In order to achieve the EU’s strategic objectives, the Commission should not start developing new tools from scratch until the existing ones are fully operational and reliable."@en1
