Alle Schengenstaaten melden, dass sie inzwischen vollständig Eurosur unterstützen. Diese formelle Unterstützungsprozedur dauerte ein Jahr. Eurosur dient dem erklärten Ziel, die Bootsflüchtlinge im Mittelmeer oder bereits an den nordafrikanischen Küsten aufzuspüren. Doch von den nordafrikanischen Staaten, die im Planungsstadium an entscheidender Stelle in das EU-Überwachungssystem eingebunden werden sollten, fehlt die Unterstützung. Entweder sind die entsprechenden staatlichen Kontrollorgane weggebrochen, wie in Tunesien oder in Libyen, oder die Regime trauen sich angesichts der kritischen Bevölkerung nicht, der EU derartige Kompetenzen auf nordafrikanischem Boden einzuräumen.

Eurosur extended: all participating states now connected to border surveillance system
All 30 Schengen states are now connected to Eurosur, the European Border Surveillance System, which officially began operating in December 2013 with the participation of the 19 Schengen states at the EU’s southern and eastern borders.The development was noted in the European Commission’s recent report on the functioning of the Schengen area, which says: “Frontex was scheduled to connect the remaining 11 centres to the Eurosur communication network by the end of November 2014.” [1]The Commission subsequently confirmed to Statewatch that it “has received confirmation from Frontex that all the remaining Member States have been connected as scheduled.”
