FUTURE PLANS The “Border Package” adopted in 2008 embodies the Commission's vision of the future of the Integrated Border Management, built around a highly technical integrated surveillance architecture which will help to modernise checks and surveillance at the EU's external borders and make them more efficient and more adequate to respond to future challenges. An area without internal borders cannot function, without shared responsibility and solidarity in managing its external borders.

THE ”BORDER PACKAGE” Three communications: • FRONTEX evaluation (Com(2008) 67 final), • Entry/Exit system, Registered Traveller Scheme and ESTA (Com(2008) 69 final) and • Eurosur (Com(2008) 68 final)
