Do you think all external EU Schengen borders should be protected? If so, how would you proposed it to be financed? Finance Minister, Schauble (one of the few good guys) is the only one making, at least, some sort of proposal here.
The biggest problem that I can envisage is how it would be collected. A half of a cent per litre might produce a large sum from total EU sales even in a day. Perhaps one of the mathematically-minded could work that out.

I have just looked up on;
http:// world.b ymap.or g/OilCo nsumpti on.html
and it appears that looking only at Germany, France Italy and Spain's petrol consumption, the combined amount is a staggering 7 million barrels per day, it would therefore, require only a small fraction of a cent on each litre to produce an enormous amount of income per year.

“Do you think all external EU Schengen borders should be protected? If so, how would you proposed it to be financed?”
What I would suggest, Khandro, is that Schengen should be abandoned forthwith. This would have two advantages: firstly it would not make the border with France or Germany or Sweden (and other "desireable" destinations of choice) that with Russia and Turkey. Secondly, as a result, internal borders would revert to being properly policed (which they ceased to be long before Schengen).
As far as the migrant crisis goes, it would be up to those European nations with external borders to police them (as it was before they joined the EU). It would be up to those nations with European neighbours to police their borders. This is only a Europe wide problem because of the stupid expansion of the EU to encompass potless former Soviet bloc nations and the free movement rules introduced by the EU. If people who entered Europe were confined to the country where they first entered it would concentrate the minds of the governments who currently admit them only to swiftly wave them on to the “destinations of their choice”. If they knew they would be stuck with them and will have to finance their very existence they may be less inclined to do so. Furthermore it would deter those wishing to head north and west if they knew they were going to be confined to, say, Poland, Hungary or Greece.
Like the euro, Schengen is a “fair weather” project. Its aims are admirable but ample warning was given before its introduction that not only would it allow free movement of people entitled to be here but it would also allow free movement of those who are not. So it has transpired and as a result the Treaty is creaking at the seams. A number of countries are abandoning its principles and one can only hope it will be just a matter of time before the whole Schengen Agreement is consigned to the dustbin. With a bit of luck this will predicate the collapse of the EU in its entirety and we can all return to a bit of sanity.

NJ; If the external borders are strengthened, then the internal ones should not be the problem they now are, but even so they need more scrutiny, Marin le Pen has said they should not be walls but filters. It is really not possible for a country like Greece to, by itself, deal with the enormity of the problem, it is in fact, the former Eastern bloc countries who are now most effective in controlling their, and therefore, UE borders, but they have comparatively small ones in relationship to Italy, France and the Iberian Peninsular.
