This seminar will take stock of the use and the impact of new technologies on EU borders and discuss European and national initiatives in the field.

In recent years, the European Union has tried to make full use of the latest electronic technology to provide a way of collecting and analysing information on everyone who travels to or from the EU. The ultimate aim is to monitor internal and external borders to ensure greater security, effectiveness and efficiency.

To this extent, the EU is currently working to develop and adjust surveillance and information systems such as Eurosur, Schengen Information System (SIS I and II), Visa Information System (VIS), Passenger Name Records (PNR), entry/exit system, etc.

Non-Schengen member states have also successfully delivered pilot projects which make full use of new technologies to ensure that controls at borders are continually adapted to maintain a high level of internal security:

  • Ireland recently approved the development of an Irish Border Information System (IBIS) which operates on the basis that passenger information collected by carriers prior to departure is sent to an Irish Border Operations Centre where it is screened.
  • The United Kingdom implemented the Iris Recognition Immigration System (IRIS), a biometric entry system, which recognises the unique iris patterns of a person's eye to allow quick entry for pre-registered passengers at selected ports in the UK.

The roles of Frontex and Europol in ensuring greater security at EU borders will also be discussed.
