The Performance Assessment Methodology for Document Inspection System (PAM4DIS) toolkit provides Member States a means to evaluate a Document Inspection System (DIS) as part of an operational border check system. By applying the methodology described, there is an enormous potential to prevent threats to internal security arising from shortcomings or failings in document security.

The CRI booklet aims to raise knowledge and awareness amongst border guard officers and participants of Frontex operational activities to potentially identify “known” Foreign Terrorist Fighters (FTF) through crosschecks with the relevant databases. Nonetheless, the CRI booklet mainly aims to support the identification of the “unknowns”, i.e., whose details are not registered in the Schengen Information System (SIS) or other databases by referring suspects or “subjects of interest” for more detailed checks. Additionally, the booklet aims at keeping awareness on an increasing hybrid nature of the security threats.
