".
Due to the fact that several Member States have been confronted with critical situations in the shape of massive influxes of illegal immigrants arriving by sea, the European Union has deemed it necessary to create Rapid Border Intervention Teams. It is the solidarity among the Member States that is the cornerstone of this project.
These teams have not been put in place with the aim of turning back these people. Rather, the aim is to provide European assistance to those Member States that admit too great an influx of illegal immigrants. Indeed, the events of last summer have confirmed the urgent need for difficult situations to be anticipated, as much for the Member States of destination or of transit as for the immigrants themselves.
These teams will therefore have the task of patrolling the areas surrounding the EU’s external borders under the authority of the national border guards of the host Member State.
Members of the rapid intervention teams will be able to exercise all of the powers necessary to carry out the activities of checking or monitoring the borders. However, it is stipulated that they shall have to fully respect people’s human dignity when carrying out their activities; equally, they shall have to respect the fundamental rights recognised by the European Union.
To conclude, the concerns expressed in some quarters about the use of these rapid border intervention teams must not become a reality over time."@en1
