A/HRC/23/46 27. In addition, there are two programmes on Prevention, Preparedness and Consequence Management of Terrorism and other Security -related Risks; and on Prevention of and Fight against Crime. 28. The Commission has proposed to merge these six mechanisms into two: The Asylum and Migration Fund and the Internal Security Fund. The Asylum and Migration Fund will focus on people flows and integrated migration management, and will support actions addressing all aspects of migration, including asylum, regular migration, integration and the return of irregularly staying migrants. 29. The Internal Security Fund will support the implementation of the Internal Security Strategy and the EU approach to law enforcement cooperation, including the management of the EU’s external borders. It will be used to finance the development and maintenance of IT systems (“Smart Borders Package”, consisting principally of an Entry/Exit System and a Registered Travellers’ Programme); introduction and operation of EUROSUR; reinforce the Schengen governance; boost the operational potential of Frontex; and support the development and implementation of relevant EU policies in the EU, as well as in and with third countries. 10.

Council Directive 2002/90/EC defining the facilitation of unauthorized entry, transit and residence (the Facilitation Directive), aims “to combat the aiding of illegal immigration both in connection with unauthorised crossing of the border in the strict sense and for the purpose of sustaining networks which exploit human beings”. It provides that all Member States shall adopt “appropriate sanctions” on any person who intentionally assists a person who is not an EU national to enter, or transit across, the territory of a Member State in breach of the laws of the State concerned; or who for financial gain, intentionally assists a migrant to reside within the territory of a Member State in breach of the laws of the State concerned. 11.

Member States shall take the necessary steps to establish an obligation for carriers to transmit at the request of the authorities responsible for carrying out checks on persons at external borders, by the end of check-in, information concerning the passengers they will carry to an authorized border-crossing point through which these persons will enter the territory of a Member State (Art 3.1). Member States shall take the necessary measures to impose dissuasive, effective and proportionate sanctions on carriers which, as a result of fault, have not transmitted data or have transmitted incomplete or false data (Art 4.1). 12. The Employer Sanctions Directive 32. Directive 2009/52/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council providing for minimum standards on sanctions and measures against employers of illegally-staying thirdcountry nationals (the Employer Sanctions Directive) aims at strengthening cooperation among Member States “in the fight against illegal immigration and in particular that measures against illegal employment should be intensified”.
