Ad Hoc Group on Immigration
01 July 1991
Mr M Fischbach, President in Office of the Council of Justice Ministers and President of the Ad Hoc Group on Immigration, gave some details of the Group when he addressed the Legal Affairs and Citizens Rights Committee of the European Parliament on 19 March. The Group, set up in 1986, has five sub-groups: 1) Border controls at the external boundaries; 2) Visa Policy towards citizens of third countries; 3) Asylum implementing the agreed Convention that anyone seeking asylum in the EC would be allowed to apply to only one country; 4) Forced Occupance establishing entry requirements for non-Community citizens and investigating illegal immigration networks; 5) Informatics working on setting up a Community-wide data bank on people who are described as 'inadmissible'.
