a) Reduce number of irregular migrants entering the Schengen area;b) Diminish death toll of migrants at sea;c) Increase internal security by preventing serious crime at the EU external

borders, such as trafficking in human beings and drugs.

This shall be achieved by improving the situational awareness & reaction capability of MS & FRONTEX through

2) Technical capabilities for detecting & tracking (small) vessels (FP7);3) Information exchange with other actors in the maritime domain.
