"In a Europe increasingly aiming to free itself of obstacles to internal freedom of movement, the external borders face the challenge of not becoming a fortress, whilst simultaneously contributing to guaranteeing the security of its citizens and controlling the flow of illegal immigrants.
Surveillance and control at the external borders of the European Union fall within the competence, not just of the boundary states, but of all the Member States of the EU. The European Agency for the Management of Operational Cooperation at the External Borders of the Member States of the European Union (Frontex) is taking on a crucial role in coordinating and assisting Member States. The Commission’s proposal, with the amendments that were introduced at the committee stage, aims to clarify the mandate of Frontex and equip it with new powers in relation to its mandate. I hope that the new legislative framework will enable the agency not just to pursue its important mission, but also to improve its performance as regards Member State sovereignty and human rights."@en1
