At the EU Borders – Between the Use of Information Systems in Migration Procedures and Refusal of Entry into the Country

Abstract:

The migration crisis ongoing in Europe since 2015 is one of the greatest challenges the European Union (EU) has faced since its inception. It requires member states to fulfill their obligation to ensure the security of the EU's external and internal borders, while respecting common values, which include solidarity and human rights. The purpose of the article is to analyze and evaluate the currently functioning migration policy, especially in the context of the use of EU information systems in the clash with the phenomenon of refusal of entry into the territory of the host country. In doing so, comments de lege lata and postulates de lege ferenda will be indicated, focusing primarily on criticism of the current system. Indeed, it is noticeable that investments are being made in new IT systems, the potential of which is still unused, and on the other hand, it is noticeable that basic human rights are not being fully respected in the form of making it possible to apply for international protection. There is a need to reform the management of migration at the national level of the Member States to be as compatible as possible with EU law and, in particular, its fundamental values. Two research methods, typical of legal science, were used during the research: the formal-dogmatic method and the comparative legal method.
