Actual "bi-annual report on the functioning of the Schengen area"‏

hey,

you might be interested in the actual "bi-annual report on the
functioning of the, Schengen area", that is published in several languages:

http://data.consilium.europa.eu/doc/document/ST-9483-2015-INIT/en/pdf
http://data.consilium.europa.eu/doc/document/ST-9483-2015-INIT/de/pdf
http://data.consilium.europa.eu/doc/document/ST-9483-2015-INIT/fr/pdf

it gives loads of informations about mediterranian and balkan route,
capacities of satellites (not for recuse missions, but border
surveillance), the difference between "amberlight" and "mos maiorum",
controls in serbia and hungary by german cops etc. etc.

in germany there is a big debate started now by bavarian MOI to
reintroduce border controls with austria against refugees (this comes at
the 30th anniversary of Schengen). also france closed the border to
italy in ventimiglia yesterday, police used batons against refugees who
demand to enter france.

all the best
