The Stockholm Programme endorsed by the European Council on December 2009 and the European Commission’s action plan implementing it of April 2010 have outlined the priorities which will guide EU border policy for the next five years. Several decisions are currently on the table. For instance, a Decision supplementing the Schengen Borders Code as regards the surveillance of the sea external borders in FRONTEX joint operations and providing Guidelines for search and rescue situations and disembarkation was adopted in April 2010.  This event aims at examining current initiatives and future proposals shaping the second generation of the EU’s Integrated Border Management strategy for the common external borders
