The EU acquis in the field of border security consists of the Ex-Schengen acquis, which represents the main part of the acquis. The Schengen acquis not only includes written rules, but also non-written but commonly accepted standards relating most notably to the organization of border police services and practices in which border authorities engage in order to guarantee the efficient implementation of the acquis. This paper is a compilation of European Union requirements relating to border security. The primary purpose of this document is to clarify some basic requirements and characteristics for national border security systems, enabling them to become compatible with EU structures.
