Starting with the mid 80’s, Europe started to show it’s border regime and legislation. In 1990 Schengen convention was adopted, by which common standards on migration politic were established for all member states. All the countries in the European Union, except UK and Ireland, signed this agreement. Starting with that moment, asylum seekers from outside EU could ask for asylum only in the country they succeeded to reach. This thing made it impossible for immigrants to choose freely the resident country in conformity with, for example, the language they knew to speak or the place where their families or friends were.
In 9-15 June, Timisoara, a city placed in the west of Romania, near the borders with Hungary and Yugoslavia, will be the scene of the first Noborder camp from Romania. This camp will mean 7 days of actions, discussions and workshops around the central problem – freedom of movement and establishment for everybody. The camp aims to unite activists, immigrants and artists from all aver Romania and Europe, to create an environment for communication, exchange of information's and debates about migration and border regime.

Preliminary Agenda:
NoBorder Timisoara will be a practical demonstration of collective and participants abilities of organization and administration of their own actions during the camp, on nonhierarchical basis and self-management. This attempt asks for everybody’s active participation, the camp being planned as a diy project.
This agenda is only a general one, containing only major topics and aspects; latter it will be split on hours. The actions, projects and discussions which appear in the preliminary agenda can be modified following the discussions and conclusions during the camp.

Main discussion points:
freedom of movement – fundamental human right; UN high commandment for refugees
Schengen Information System – "electronic borders", social control
SIS is the central piece in the the border regime in Schengen region. Projected for centralization of the dates concerning immigrants and refugees control, SIS is used also now for search and find the people considered "dangerous". All 13 member states of schengen agreement are participants in the SIS under legal but also logistic aspects. Although UK and Ireland are not a part of schengen space and so they are not part of the same visa regime, an official rapport shows that the two countries have a in EU’s efforts of stopping illegal migration and organized crime.
SIS data base contains recordings made in each EU member state, agencies from EU countries being interconnected through thousands of terminals, this thing allows them to persons wanted for deportation or arrest, or suspected for being a danger for national security and for public order.
These data base contained at the end of year 2001, 10541271 recordings, including also between 1.3 and 6 millions of names. Siemens and Nixdorf and Bullroup have projected and offer for SIS infrastructure and also the soft interface, and sema group is the one who’s providing the SIS management.

detention centers for immigrants, immigrants rights, international legislation regarding immigration, Romanian legislation regarding Migration, detention centers for immigrants in Romania
refugees and immigrants are some of .The most vulnerable members of society. .The number of asylum seekers in .The detention centers has grown very much over .The past years. People who are not suspected for committing any crimes are locked without trials, many times for many months, in detention centers which are actually prisons from all points of view. .The incarceration is subjective, arbitrary, illegal, useless and unjust. People who have done nothing wrong are locked away for indefinite periods waiting for .The bureaucratic procedures for solving their problems and demands. Asylum seekers are put in domestic prisons, facing inhuman treatment, racism and segregation.
Fascism,racism,nationalism
sexism,homophobia
capitalism, corporate politics, UE enlargement, .The WEF, FMI, G8
.The leaders of .The (capitalist) world are preaching about a so-called "war without ending’ who’s destination is to protect western values and civilization, to justify their military actions and .The support they offer to oppressive regimes.
In .The name of protecting "our way of life", through military campaigns, they are actually trying to get unrestricted access for western corporation to all resources they need. Through international financial and trade institutions like .The IMF, world bank, WTO, .The west takes advantage of .The economic domination and power to impose .The rest of .The world politics which will favors their interests, leaving behind nations sinking in debts and poverty. As a consequence, people from this kind of places , brought to poverty by western exploitation, are being forced to leave, to immigrate looking for a better life, risking persecution and death.
Pollution, animal rights lead by their needs and desires to achieve always more profits and bigger ones, capitalism extends globally, resulting in a process of degradation of .The environment in it’s way. Abusive exploitation of .The natural resources, together with Pollution and carbon emissions have determined rapid changes in .The global climate, more and more people being forced to leave their homelands because of floods, deforestation, and other forms of environment destruction. We’re witnesses of .The mass extinction of many animal and plant species – of .The ecosystem and .The traditional human society which is based on these things.
