<p>Al Qaeda, and groups affiliated to it, continue to pose a threat to our national
security, including British interests abroad, and remain a priority for the cross-government
counter terrorism effort. We are aware of media reporting that terrorist groups have
an ambition to infiltrate migration and refugee routes. We work closely with our partners
abroad to counter terrorism, including to strengthen border security against identified
terrorists and terrorist suspects. Access to the European border watchlist (Schengen
Information System II) contributes to the UK’s ability to safeguard its national security,
and we use this to make checks on individuals wishing to enter the UK from the Schengen
zone.</p>
