The Executive Director of eu-LISA, Krum GARKOV, is on a visit to the French Ministry of the Interior to discuss priorities with regards to European Union border management and asylum as well as European Union internal security in light of the recently issued European Commission New Agenda for Security and Migration.

The progress of the Smart Borders Pilot project, carried out during 2015 by eu-LISA, in which France is one of the participating countries and plays a substantial role will also be discussed.
