Therefore, the purpose of this analysis is to identify the role of the regional information exchange network and cooperation in the field of illegal migration and to reduce cross-border crime between the countries of North Africa, Asia and the EU. Cooperation can include assistance with the authorities to implement national strategies to address the causes of illegal migration by encouraging local economic development and providing access to jobs for migrants and host communities, and to strengthen protection for the most vulnerable. It is extremely important to increase the capacity of the authorities in North Africa and Asia to combat illegal migration and human trafficking by strengthening their border surveillance systems. Other areas of support with EU countries include an inter-agency visit to the European Border Guard and the Coast Guard Agency in Warsaw, the designation of a contact point for Operation Sophia and the study of information exchange opportunities within the Seahorse Mediterraneo project. Key issues include changes in the legal and institutional framework, knowledge base, channels for legal migration, border control, prevention of illegal migration.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Текущий европейский миграционный кризис обозначил проблемы стран Евросоюза в поиске решений возникающих многосторонних конфликтов. Целью статьи является выявление роли региональной сети обмена информацией и сотрудничества в области незаконной миграции, сокращение трансграничной преступности между странами Северной Африки, Азии и ЕС. Сотрудничество может включать в себя содействие властям стран исхода и транзита в целях осуществления национальных стратегий по устранению причин нелегальной миграции путем поощрения местного экономического развития и обеспечения доступа к рабочим местам для мигрантов и принимающих общин, а также для усиления защиты наиболее уязвимых лиц. Автор отмечает важность повышения потенциала властей стран Северной Африки и Азии по борьбе с незаконной миграцией и торговлей людьми путем укрепления их систем пограничного надзора. Другие области поддержки со стороны ЕС включают межведомственные визиты в Европейское агентство пограничной и береговой охраны, назначение контактного место для операции «Sophia» и изучение возможностей обмена информацией в рамках проекта «Seahorse Mediterraneo». Также делается вывод о том, что к числу ключевых вопросов относятся изменения в нормативной и институциональной структуре, базе знаний, каналах легальной миграции, пограничном контроле, предотвращении незаконной миграции.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>illegal migration</kwd><kwd>information exchange</kwd><kwd>cooperation</kwd><kwd>the countries of North Africa</kwd><kwd>Asia</kwd><kwd>European Union</kwd><kwd>the reduction of cross-border crime</kwd><kwd>financial support</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>незаконная миграция</kwd><kwd>обмен информацией</kwd><kwd>сотрудничество</kwd><kwd>страны Северной Африки</kwd><kwd>Азия</kwd><kwd>ЕС</kwd><kwd>сокращение трансграничной преступности</kwd><kwd>финансовая поддержка</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><award-group><award-id></award-id></award-group></funding-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Migration on the Central Mediterranean Route.
