“Building on EU experience of upgrading border management in the context of the 2004-2007 enlargement and EU Border Assistance Missions, a programme for introducing integrated border management at the EaP countries’ non-EU borders could be developed. This is a precondition for effectively tackling customs fraud, trafficking and illegal migration, and thus for progress in key policy areas such as trade, customs and visas. Setting up integrated border management structures aligned to EU standards is also an important prerequisite for progress on the mobility of persons. Assistance for border demarcation, where appropriate, could also be provided in the frame of this initiative.”
