Schengen and European Security

Denmark, for example, as a member of the Schengen Agreement, applies the stringent security controls adopted by all Schengen member countries for those entering the Schengen zone, which include a requirement that no United Nations listed person from another country enter the region.

The European Union guarantees its citizens freedom of movement within the territory of its 25 Member States, while the Schengen Agreement has eliminated border controls between its parties, while strengthening controls at the external Schengen area border.

In addition, Denmark enters the name of all United Nations listed persons with sufficient identifying information, whether from a Schengen or non Schengen State, on the Danish criminal register with a permanent prohibition to enter the country.

The Schengen Agreement providing for passport free transit is what makes freedom of movement for people meaningful. But, given the inability of participating states to control their borders with non EU countries, Germany and other Schengen members have temporarily reinstated controls.

The Team noted in its second report (S 2005 83, para. 135) that the European Union, as the most developed of these zones, guarantees its citizens freedom of movement within the territory of its 25 member States, while the Schengen Agreement eliminated border controls between many of the European States while strengthening controls at the external Schengen area border and increasing police and judicial cooperation within the Schengen system.

Greece, for example, also participates in the Schengen system to implement internal and external controls for the region.

The Swiss agreed by referendum on 5 June 2005 to join the Schengen Agreement (see www.europa.admin.ch nbv referendum e ).

This two part approach utilizing Schengen wide restrictions to exclude listed persons from outside the Schengen zone, while maintaining national restrictions to limit the movement of listed aliens within the zone may serve as a model for other States in established or developing border free or visa free regions.

Persons on the Consolidated List, whether or not from another EU or Schengen State, are barred from entry into Greece.

Of course, there are flaws in the Schengen system. Like the eurozone, the area began with only a small group of member countries, all of which had a similar outlook and capacity to implement common rules, but soon welcomed many others, some of which, it later became apparent, could not uphold agreed standards.

In addition, Switzerland has signed an agreement to join aspects of the EU and Schengen systems, but has not yet ratified it.

In implementing the travel ban, the Schengen States address the absence of internal border controls through measures such as enhanced police and judicial cooperation.

The European Union has 25 member States, while the Schengen Agreement covers 13 EU and two non EU member States (see S 2005 83, para.

Rather than attempt to control the masses of tourists and business travelers entering the country from all sides essentially an exercise in futility in Switzerland the country decided to focus police resources specifically on security threats. By joining Schengen, the Swiss police also gained access to the Schengen Information System and other important European databases on criminal suspects, stolen cars, and more.

In addition to the border control changes, the Schengen Agreement establishes a common visa policy for Member States and enhances cooperation between police and judicial authorities.

So, will Europe commit to moving toward political union, and thereby address what has remained missing, despite the single market, the euro, and the Schengen Agreement s elimination of internal borders?

We can work within the rules we can't break the rules we're just learning what the rules are.

Accordingly, if an individual on the Consolidated List resides within an EU or a Schengen State, he may be able to travel freely across most of Europe, unless hindered by legal obstacles.

Are there some rules we can develop for changing rules?

She will continue to emphasize close relations with France because there is no alternative Britain, absent from the euro zone and the Schengen border regime, remains the odd man in of the EU.

But Merkel s failure to offer those refugees safe passage has exacerbated the chaos. Subsequently reimposing border controls within the supposedly border free Schengen Area set a terrible precedent, prompting Germany s neighbors to do likewise.

The parties to the Schengen Agreement include the EU States of Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Finland, Germany, Greece, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and Sweden and two non EU States, Iceland and Norway.
