"I voted in favour of the report on the European Agency for the Management of Operational Cooperation at the External Borders of the Member States of the European Union, which introduces some new rules. Since 2005, Frontex has been responsible for coordinating law enforcement at the external borders of the EU. The time had come to assess the first six years in order to strengthen it and make it more effective. I am delighted that the agency will no longer have to depend on funding from the Member States in order to purchase or lease equipment (vehicles, helicopters and so on). Furthermore, Member States are legally obliged to honour their commitments to provide the agency with human resources or equipment on an annual basis. I welcome the introduction of arrangements to ensure that migrants’ fundamental rights are respected, in particular, through the appointment of a fundamental rights officer and the development of a code of conduct. In accordance with international law, no migrant shall be disembarked in, or otherwise handed over to, the authorities of a country in which his or her life or freedoms are threatened. That may seem obvious but it sometimes bears repeating."@en1
