18 organizations

participated in 2004

T r a i n i n g

• Implementation of a common project with our Spanish partners aiming at the updating of the training system of the Turkish Border Guards

-- from January 1st 2006 onwards

Hungary situated at the gates of Ukraine and the Balkans plays an important role in the border security system of the EU.

We have to possess broad range of information on the authorities participating in migration management in the new EU MSs and those of our neighbouring countries situated at the EU’s external border (organisational structure, legislation on their operation);

Up-to-date information on illegal migration channels, as well as on current changes in the migration phenomenon can be obtained;

Provides a useful forum for exchange of views helping to better understand possible ways for action;

Gives excellent opportunities to establish personal contacts supporting exchange of experiences.

21

1. Same area, same challanges in the field of the fight against illegal migration,

2. Opportunity to disseminate experiences of the establishment of organisations in conformity with EU standards,

3. Pooling expertise,

4. Creation of professional relations of experts, strengthening good neighbourhood practice.

Why is the composition of participating states of the Söderköping Process very

appropriate?
