Expected Results: Greece, due to its geographic location, as a frontier country of the EU, takes action in matters of cross-border co-operation for the restriction of illegal immigration – smuggling with the countries adjacent to it. The Greek Police and the Border Guarding Services watch over 979 km of land borders which are identified to the external borders of the European Union and are adjacent to Asia and Africa.Expected Results:1 The relief of our country from the economic costs of removing illegal immigrants and lost customs duties 2. The prevention of the smuggling of drugs and weapons, which has a huge social cost and removes the population from the active development process.3. The most efficient implementation of the cross-border co-operation with the adjacent countries in the areas of preventing smuggling and illegal immigration. 4. The further entrenchment of the sense of safety of the inhabitants of the border areas, and by extension, of the inhabitants of the remaining countries of the European Union.Cross-border Character These results, besides, are being pursued through Title VI of the Treaty of the European Union, which among other things, particularly establishes cross-border cooperation for the effective combating of cross-border crime and contributes to European economic integration.-Close cross-border cooperation in the framework of the European single market constitutes the Third Pillar of the European Union, namely, of the Treaties of Maastricht (1992) and Amsterdam (1997).A protocol of collaboration has been signed between the two countries, however it is at the stage of ratification. Projects Benefits: better, safer and faster transportation of goods and people, resulting to the facilitation of contracting trading relationships and communication between the two countries.
