	Fortress Europe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fortress Europe is the term given (usually pejoratively) to the concept of the European Union efforts to keep non-EU goods, businesses and nationals out of the Union's twenty-five member states.
		In the view of critics the Common Agricultural Policy is the classic example of a Fortress Europe policy, protecting European agriculture with the effects of higher prices for consumers within the EU and a negative impact on the wider world market.
		Few would willingly be described as supporters of the concept of Fortress Europe, though many Greens and Communists, Irish Republicans and others on the left, together with fascist supporters of autarky remain opposed to the expansion of global trade.

	The Fortress of Europe
		Mehmet planned the fortress himself and then supervised the construction of the walls, having appointed his grand vizier and two other viziers to supervise the construction of the three great towers (in Turkish, the word for tower is "kulesi").
		Overlooked by the Sarlica Pasa Kulesi is the Dag Kapi - the eastern gate of the Fortress of Europe.
		The chain was stretched from the Fortress of Europe to the Fortress of Asia.

	Fortress Europe bids you welcome
		Europe’s governments are struggling to stem the flow of migrants from poor countries while opening the gates wide for the best of the world’s workers.
		“Europe has not escaped from what seems to be the destiny of all areas experiencing rapid growth: the need to bring in labour supplies from outside,” wrote the American sociologist Saskia Sassen in her book, Guests and Aliens (New Press, 2000).
		For modern Europe’s far right—and for sizeable minorities of the population in France, Belgium, Germany and Scandinavia according to surveys—the immigrant may be avaricious, bedridden, criminal or simply a job-stealer, selfishly milking the society that happens to be richer.

		These are the victims of 'Fortress Europe' - the human cost of a policy which places the needs of capital over the rights of people.
		EU governments have responded by building ever stronger walls around 'Fortress Europe', by making clear their intention to criminalise ever further people who try to come here to make a better life for themselves and their families.
		The extension of 'Fortress Europe' is another aspect of the globalisation of capitalism.

		While conglomerates are rare in the U.S., they're still very common in Europe: Hicks Muse figures that they account for about 70% of listed stocks in Germany, vs. 10% in the U.S. Who grabs the lion's share of that business may depend on style.

	Fortress Europe Yony Bunyan
		According ti the writer, the attitude of the EU is reflected in the increase in fascist and racist violence throughout Europe.
		Fuelled by the racism implicit in the EU governments' measures to stop immigration into western Europe there has been a dramatic rise in racist attacks, on asylum-seekers, refugees and ethnic minority citizens of the EU.
		The exploitation of the immigration issue by EU governments results in the inhuman treatment of refugees and asylum-seekers and exposes fl and ethnic minority citizens to attack.

	Immigration, Enlargement and the Idea of Europe
		In tandem with this argument, beyond the academy, ‘fortress Europe’ is denounced by Statewatch, Pro Asyl, ECRE and other international NGOs, all of whom are deeply suspicious of European cooperation institutionalised in the Schengen agreement, particularly the Schengen Information System and the expanded cross-national collaboration among police forces.
		In short, immigration to Europe has been driven primarily by market concerns, in the face of political hostility and a decline in state control policy: the needs of industry for low-skilled workers, shortages in high-skilled sectors and, in the case of day-trips and short-term visits, the inferior ranges of consumer goods in certain CEE countries.
		Yet the internal market in Europe is one of the most remarkable instances of modern nation-states ‘letting go’ of their need to control governance over the flow of capital, goods, services and persons, instead exposing all member states to the costs and benefits of an integrated market.

		Fortress Europe is willing to lower the drawbridge for the few but keep it firmly up for the many.
		All this is driven by recent electoral trends which show that people across Europe are reacting against others they regard as strangers in their midst.

		Although Europe, as a geopolitical entity and as an ideological concept, has itself rested on an historical process of absorbing, hybridizing, and assimilating different people from diverse ethnic and national groups, European countries have tended to view migration as challenging and threatening their territory, identity and ways of imagining themselves and others.
		The aim of the conference is to explore how the public debate about Fortress Europe has been negotiated in the cultural and aesthetic spheres within a wide range of representational forms, from the media to film, photography, literature, theatre, and the arts.
		We are also interested in contributions from and on Europe's "Others"' themselves, particularly on their own perceptions, imaginations, and fantasies of Fortress Europe.

		Europe has been jokingly described as a fortress due to the difficulty that some companies with start-up technologies have had with penetrating the region.
		Still, Europe is also a leading marketplace for wireless technologies and many countries in the region have made available frequency bands – such as the 3G 2.1 GHz band and the 2.5 GHz band to be allocated by 2008 – that are ideal for delivering broadband wireless services.
		While many industry insiders agree that regulators in Europe are trending toward loosening their regulations on spectrum use, the process may take some time.

		Fortress Europe's anti-immigrant agenda is “de-humanising” and can kill, Kofi Annan has warned.
		Annan’s political intervention, made while accepting a European human rights prize, comes as the EU is taking the first steps to a common asylum policy, moves dominated by tough measures against illegal immigrants and “bogus” refugees.
		The West African former UN high commissioner for refugees believes the absence of an avenue for legal migration into Europe is feeding a human rights crisis and putting the international refugee system under stress.

	Africans risk all to breach fortress Europe - Boston.com
		Like thousands of migrants who try to break into "fortress Europe" each year, the 24-year-old Senegalese student had hidden between the carriages of goods trains, been beaten by police and shot at during repeated attempts to get out of Africa.
		Often they are educated young men who risk their lives not for the glamour of a western lifestyle -- many expect to face humiliating poverty and racist abuse in Europe -- but simply in the hope of repatriating money for needy relatives.
		Most of the Africans hiding in Tangiers or Rabat, or in woodland around the border hoping for an opportunity to sneak to Europe, are from Senegal, Mali, Nigeria, Guinea and Cameroon, none of which are suffering from high-level conflict or famine.

		It was because the rich lacked the will to help end poverty in Africa that more Africans were driven to attempt to enter Fortress Europe, and were dying in the process, the President said.
		"They will persist in the effort to use their bodies as the assault force that will break down the walls of the Fortress that is maintained to guarantee the privileged lives of the rich, and insulate them from the pressing demands of the poor," he writes.
