EU-LISA, the EU Agency for the operational management of large-scale IT systems in the area of freedom, security and justice, is one of the most recent and more ambiguous applications of Jean Monnet’s functional method of integration. At first sight, its core business is about the implementation and management of EU databases in the field of free movement of persons and migration control. In fact, it is more and more becoming one of the main tools in the EU policy of closure towards irregular migrants, irrespective of their eventual right to asylum and protection. In this sense, I analyze eu-LISA as a new and further step towards the depersonalization of irregular migrants or rather their transformation in alphanumeric data, which can be easily erased. All this is realized through technical tools that do not draw attention from European public opinion.
