Combating clandestine immigration: penal framework

This procedure focuses on creating a coordinated legal framework to prevent and penalize clandestine immigration. It aims to harmonize the way EU member states handle the illegal movement of people to ensure that criminal activities related to smuggling and illegal entry are addressed consistently across borders.

This will primarily affect law enforcement agencies, judicial authorities, and individuals involved in the illegal transport of migrants. It seeks to strengthen border security and judicial cooperation between member states.
