REGULATION (EC) No 863/2007 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL

of 11 July 2007

establishing a mechanism for the creation of Rapid Border Intervention Teams and amending Council Regulation (EC) No 2007/2004 as regards that mechanism and regulating the tasks and powers of guest officers

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 62(2)(a) and 66 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

After consulting the European Economic and Social Committee,

Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (1),

Whereas:

 

(1)

On 26 October 2004, the Council adopted Regulation (EC) No 2007/2004 establishing a European Agency for the Management of Operational Cooperation at the External Borders of the Member States of the European Union (2) (the Agency).
 

(2)

A Member State facing circumstances requiring increased technical and operational assistance at its external borders may, without prejudice to Article 64(2) of the Treaty and in accordance with Articles 7 and 8 of Regulation (EC) No 2007/2004, ask the Agency for assistance in the form of coordination, where other Member States are involved.
 

(3)

Effective management of the external borders through checks and surveillance helps to combat illegal immigration and trafficking in human beings and to prevent any threat to the internal security, public policy, public health and international relations of the Member States. Border control is in the interests not only of the Member State at whose external borders it is carried out but of all Member States which have abolished internal border control.
 

(4)

Responsibility for the control of the external borders lies with the Member States. Bearing in mind the critical situations which Member States from time to time have to deal with at their external borders, in particular the arrival at points of the external borders of large numbers of third-country nationals trying to enter the territory of the Member States illegally, it may be necessary to assist Member States by providing appropriate and sufficient resources, in particular personnel.
 

(5)

The current possibilities for providing efficient practical assistance with regard to checking persons at the external borders and the surveillance of the external borders at European level are not considered sufficient, in particular where Member States are faced with the arrival of large numbers of third-country nationals trying to enter the territory of the Member States illegally.
 

(6)

A Member State should accordingly have the possibility of requesting the deployment, within the framework of the Agency, of Rapid Border Intervention Teams comprising specially trained experts from other Member States on its territory to assist its national border guards on a temporary basis. The deployment of the Rapid Border Intervention Teams will contribute to increasing solidarity and mutual assistance between Member States.
 

(7)

The deployment of Rapid Border Intervention Teams to provide support for a limited period of time should take place in exceptional and urgent situations. Situations of this kind would arise where a Member State was faced with a mass influx of third-country nationals attempting to enter its territory illegally which required an immediate response and where the deployment of a Rapid Border Intervention Team would contribute to providing an effective response. Rapid Border Intervention Teams are not intended to provide long-term assistance.
 

(8)

Rapid Border Intervention Teams will depend on the planned duties, availability and frequency of deployment. To ensure the...
