Gestion numérique des frontières : un outil contre la criminalité et l’immigration clandestine
Les personnes qui n'ont pas de passeport d'un pays de l'UE seront bientôt confrontées à un nouveau système frontalier numérique qui enregistrera une grande partie de leurs informations personnelles. Le système d'entrée/sortie vise à renforcer la sécurité.

00:30The regulation will apply to non-EU citizens travelling on holiday or business for a stay of up to 90 days in a 180-day period.
00:50But EU leaders want to tackle the risks that they'll outstay their welcome, becoming irregular migrants.
00:56They also argue that they want to better detect crime victims, namely of human trafficking and offenders, including those who pose a terrorist threat.
01:05The decision to advance on this legislation came after the terrorist attacks in France in 2015 and Belgium in 2016.
01:13Photographs with biometric data and fingerprints are some of the elements that will be registered in the system.
01:19We ask Europeans what they think about these strict rules.
01:26There's lots of people travelling around pretending to be tourists, but we're not sure they all are.
01:32We are quite happy to give information as long as that information is kept safe and secure.
01:37The controls that we have right now seem effective, so I don't think we necessarily need controller passport, stronger passport controls.
01:45We're from Canada and we travel to Europe because it's easy and we love the transit.
01:49So I worry that putting in some extra regulation would just make it a bit more complicated for us.
01:56What I should do is have a more strict regulation, but not at the level of who comes and who comes, but maybe help the people who are already here.
02:10There has to be a control, otherwise everyone will enter and you don't know who comes.
02:14I don't think so much control, so exhaustive.
02:18That can cause many injustices.
02:21Euronews reporter Vincenzo Genovesi has been following this dossier.
02:26The proposal for this regulation appeared in 2017.
02:30Why did it take so long to come to the point now of implementation?
02:34According to my understanding, the issues were more at the technical level because the regulation for entry exit system was agreed just one year after the proposal.
02:46But then every country concerned has to submit to present a declaration of readiness.
02:53And apparently it took a time, it took a while to build up the system.
02:57The system will register the person's name, the type of travel document and biometric data, so fingerprints and facial images.
03:10They will also check at which moment they enter and exit.
03:14The regulation is presented as means to increase security, but isn't it also a tool for migration control?
03:21It's definitely a tool for migration control, in my opinion, because we know that a large part, maybe even the largest part of irregular migrants in the European Union come in a regular way.
03:34So with this system, national authorities will be able to check when the permit of a person is over, is expired.
03:44Once the European Commission sets a date, which might be in autumn, we heard that progressive implementation may take up to six months.
03:52Is this a technical issue? Which countries will probably be more proactive?
03:57Yes, indeed. The Polish Presidency of the Council set the goal to start in October.
04:03Then countries have a choice. They can adopt a gradual approach or they go straight into full application.
04:13I guess that there will be some countries faster than others, but I cannot make any predictions at this stage.
04:22I also expect that it will be easier to enforce this in the airports, for example, and it will be more difficult to enforce this system at other crossing points like the land border crossing points.
04:3625 EU member states will use this scheme, except Cyprus and Ireland that will continue to stem passports manually.
04:43It also applies to four Schengen-associate countries, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland.
04:49The data will be accessible for border control authorities, the police authorities of each country and Europol, that is the EU agency for law enforcement cooperation.
04:59With us is the Rapporteur for this regulation in the European Parliament, Asita Canco, Belgian member of the European Conservatives and Reformists.
05:09Welcome, madam. How confident are you that this system will be in place without creating too much cyber security risks and maybe even long queues for users, notably the tourists?
05:21Well, it is the goal even of this legislation that there would be less skills for the users, so shorter time at the airport, but also more safety.
05:33The gradual implementation will allow member states to phase in at their own tempo and see if there is anything that needs to be fixed or changed or modified.
05:43So there are also contingency plans foreseen. France, the Netherlands and Germany are the three last ones that need to be ready.
05:50And we are going to go in trilogue and negotiate with the Council and look at where there are still concerns and how we can fix them.
05:57What impact do you expect in controlling international crime, for example, which is a priority?
06:02Exactly. Thanks to the EES, we are going to give the opportunity to our law enforcement agents to look live into simultaneous data to track criminals.
06:13Can you imagine the agents sitting on a pile of paper and trying to find something? Then the criminal is already very far away.
06:18And we should not forget that this legislation came first into life eight years ago after the terror attacks of Brussels, Zaventem and Paris.
06:27But eight years have passed and we are still not capable of protecting our citizens against what happened then,
06:33because we did not implement our legislation and we are worried about other kinds of threats.
06:38But we need to be ready to fight terrorism.
06:41Illegal migration is also a topic important here because there is illegal migration and there is also maybe a risk of restricting the rights of asylum seekers
06:50that don't have a way to comply with bureaucracy when they are fleeing for protection in another country.
06:58I think the point here with the EES is to protect European citizens and to protect our cities and home against terrorists
07:05and to make sure that if you have bad intentions or if your data is not clear that you cannot cross the border.
07:11So, however, I believe that the most important thing for an asylum seekers is to be safe.
07:17When people need protection, of course, there are procedures that already exist and it is the member states that can actually follow these procedures
07:25and analyze every case, case by case.
07:28The border security will continue to be a priority with new legislation next year.
07:34The European Travel Information and Authorization System will apply to people from 59 visa exempted countries.
07:42They will have to demand authorization online and pay a fee in a scheme similar to the ones used at the United Kingdom and the United States.
07:51People are traveling more and more, but they are also facing increasing controls at the borders.
07:56Movement variables.
