Technology in favour of European Union border

In order to better manage the flow of travellers and better control of these flows, modern technological solutions are introduced at the external border of the European Union. The purpose of these activities is the so-called intelligent borders that will be crossed by some travellers automatically, without the interference of border guards. These are IT systems which main task is to strengthen the Community's security by monitoring migrants who cross the border in an unauthorized manner or extend their stay on its territory. Biometric data control, automated border check, comprehensive entry / exit recording sys-tems, electronic travel permits, supervision of passenger air traffic, virtual gates and satellite monitoring will allow for quick verification of persons entering and leaving the territory of the Community. The author characterizes chosen technological solutions already in function and the ones implemented within the framework of the European concept of intelligent borders.
