abstract
The establishment of an area of freedom, security and justice was one the main objectives of Treaty of Amsterdam. Measure to harmonize criminal law as well as judicial cooperation in criminal matters are indivisible part of this objective. One of the objectives of the European Union is the gradual creation of an area of freedom, security and justice, which means, inter alia, that illegal immigration must be combated. Consequently, measures should be taken 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. In this article the author describe Council framework Decision of 28 November 2002 on the strengthening of the penal framework to prevent the facilitation of unauthorised entry, transit and residence and Council Directive 2002/90/EC of 28 November 2002 defining the facilitation of unauthorised entry, transit and residence, and implementation measures. To that end it is essential to approximate existing legal provisions, in particular, on the one hand, the precise definition of the infringement in question and the cases of exemption, which is the subject of Council Directive 2002/90/EC of 28 November 2002 defining the facilitation of unauthorised entry, transit and residence and, on the other hand, minimum rules for penalties, liability of legal persons and jurisdiction, which is the subject of framework Decision.
