What was the core OBSTACLE in undertaking the activity? Currently the mechanisms for exchanging information regarding crime prevention across the German-Polish border are insufficient as it does not take into account threat-prevention measures that have become increasingly important since the accession of Poland to the Schengen agreement which resulted in the abolition of border controls
Which were the main CAUSES of the OBSTACLE? The current Agreement between police authorities stipulates that the responsible authorities in the border regions are permitted to exchange information on criminal prosecution directly. This has proved to be no longer sufficient.
Which were the main EFFECTS of the OBSTACLE? Large-scale events such as football matches, concerts, and folk festivals have shown that situations can potentially occur at any time in the border area that necessitate reciprocal police support services.
Please, describe briefly the factor(s) which mostly (3-4) aggravated the persistence of the Obstacle
