Traduction de «contrôle automatisé aux frontières » (Français → Anglais) :

This includes, inter alia, the use of gates for automated border control.

Automated border controls for bona fide travellers would provide major benefits in time savings on crossing the external border and allow border authorities to focus their resources on those groups of third country nationals that require more attention, thus improving overall security at borders.

The next few months will be marked by: - attainment of the objective of removing controls at frontiers, by means of adjustments to the infrastructure and adoption, by the Member States, of the administrative measures needed to relocate the current controls; - finalization of the legislative work in progress to back up the removal of all physical frontier controls; this applies, in particular, to shipments of waste, controls on exports of goods of cultural value and of strategic goods, the free movement of certain agricultural products (bananas) and the free movement of pet animals; - the follow-up to the conclusions of the Sutherland ...[+++]working party, which will report to the Commission in October on the priorities for management of the single market after 1992.

That means a Community without internal frontiers - not fewer or simpler frontier controls, but no divisive frontiers at all.

1. BACKGROUND The new situation which will result from the creation of the single market on 1 January 1993 and the abolition of customs controls at internal frontiers makes it more essential than ever to ensure a uniform implementation of the common policies of the Community which constitute the basis of the customs union, and to tighten controls at the Community's external frontiers, in particular in relation to sensitive products such as drugs and arms (customs offices at rail/road border crossings with non-Community countries, at p ...[+++]orts and international airports).

The position of the Member States can be summed up as follows: - Opposed to the setting before 1993 of the date on which the arrangements for payment of VAT in the country of origin are to take effect; - In favour of the abolition of all tax controls at internal frontiers on 1 January 1993 (firms and individuals travelling to another Member State); - Hesitant about the approximation of the rates of indirect taxation (VAT and excise duties): some Member States are in favour (notably those with high indirect tax rates) while others are opposed or have reserved their position, stressing the role of market forces in making the necessary adjustments once frontier controls have been abolished.
