Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev chaired a meeting on improving state migration policy at Sheremetyevo Pushkin International Airport. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin participated.
Before the meeting, Dmitry Medvedev and Sergei Sobyanin inspected the new immigration control point in the airport terminal. It features passport control booths equipped with biometric devices.
"Today, we looked at how the migration control system works, using Sheremetyevo as an example. We will discuss a number of issues related to improving this control. An experiment is underway at the Moscow Aviation Hub to test new entry rules and conditions. It involves collecting migrants' biometric data at the border. Overall, this appears quite convincing, as it only takes a few dozen seconds for a person to cross the border. All this is quickly processed, avoiding any bottlenecks, while simultaneously allowing for the creation of a comprehensive database that is used for both migration and law enforcement purposes," Dmitry Medvedev commented.
The Moscow government is actively involved in equipping 11 more state border crossing points with biometric equipment.
This will allow us to obtain an objective picture of the migration situation, identify and register all foreigners currently in Russia, and promptly identify those who have committed crimes in Russia or their home countries. In some cases, they will be prevented from entering the country. Dmitry Medvedev noted that all legal measures against foreign citizens who have no grounds for staying in Russia are being fully implemented.
"These projects must be scaled up to all similar checkpoints in the country. The head of state issued a special order in July of this year," stated the Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council.
