Life After Schengen

Already, the controversy over Tunisian migrants in Italy has started to fray the political underpinnings that allow free movement in the Schengen area.

The Agreements and the rules adopted under them were entirely separate from the EU structures, and led to the creation of the Schengen Area on 26 March 1995.

By contrast, the proposed restrictions on the visa waiver program include safeguard clauses that would temporarily suspend access to Europe s Schengen area, most likely for those from Balkan countries.

The Schengen Area was established outside of the then European Community, when consensus could not be reached among all of its member states on the abolition of border controls.

Denmark, for example, as a member of the Schengen Agreement, applies the stringent security controls adopted by all Schengen member countries for those entering the Schengen zone, which include a requirement that no United Nations listed person from another country enter the region.

In implementing the travel ban, the Schengen States address the absence of internal border controls through measures such as enhanced police and judicial cooperation.

The European Union has 25 member States, while the Schengen Agreement covers 13 EU and two non EU member States (see S 2005 83, para.

However before fully implementing the Schengen rules, each state must have its preparedness assessed in four areas air borders, visas, police cooperation, and personal data protection.

In addition to the border control changes, the Schengen Agreement establishes a common visa policy for Member States and enhances cooperation between police and judicial authorities.

On 27 November 2008, the interior and justice ministers of European Union in Brussels announced Switzerland's accession to the Schengen passport free zone from 12 December 2008.

So, will Europe commit to moving toward political union, and thereby address what has remained missing, despite the single market, the euro, and the Schengen Agreement s elimination of internal borders?
