Implementation and Evaluation in Romania of the Integrated Border Security System (SISF)

EU’s objective to „maintain and develop the Union as an area of freedom, security and justice” is transposed into the Romanian national strategy. The EU Member States have a common interest to implement a security system. The increase of complexity and scale in crossborder crime emphasised the need for an integrated border management. As part of the state border management, the Integrated Border Security System (SISF) consists of a complex of organizational measures and coordination structures with responsibilities in the field, integrating existing surveillance and control systems, incorporting new ones. This system creates the bases for free movement of persons and goods within community borders. The evaluation of the National Strategy of Integrated management for the Romanian Border is made by the Romanian Inter-ministerial Group for Integrated State Border Management (GIRMIFS) based on the DAC Criteria developed by Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).
