Border Checks at Seaports Best Practice & Guidelines (2015)
The report provides an analysis of the current situation of border control at the seaports of the European Union and in Norway, including the identification of challenges confronted by border guards, good practices, guidelines, and recommendations. To draft it, a working group (WG) was set up by Frontex RDU comprising all EU MSs with an external maritime border and Norway. In a series of meetings, the experts documented and assessed national practices and shared experiences gained in making border control on ships and persons at seaports. A number of identified challenges requiring a common EU approach are presented in the report. The document contains also a number of best practices of likely interest and utility to MSs who may wish to implement such practices at their seaports.
