Frontex: MEPs want an effective border agency compliant with fundamental rights 

Persbericht 
 
 
  • Scale down operations in member states where there are allegations of lack of respect of EU values 
  • Concern over the situation in Greece, Lithuania and Hungary 
  • MEPs acknowledge managerial changes but call for more to ensure transparency and respect of EU principles 

The Civil Liberties Committee insists that a well-functioning European Border and Coast Guard Agency can help member states manage the EU’s external borders.

The committee adopted on Thursday a draft resolution, with 45 in favour, 7 against and 0 abstentions, wrapping up the fact-finding investigation by the Working Group on Frontex Scrutiny.

Search and rescue

MEPs underline that Frontex could do more to increase the EU and member states’ capacity to carry out search and rescue operations by investing in appropriate assets for such operations. Regarding the shipwreck off the coast of Greece on 14 June 2023, MEPs expect Frontex’s full cooperation during the inquiry.

Ongoing concerns in Greece, Lithuania and Hungary

MEPs express “severe concerns regarding the serious and persistent allegations made against Greek authorities in relation to pushbacks and violence against migrants”. Frontex should scale down its operations to mere monitoring and presence on the ground in cases where a member state is unable to respect EU principles and values, say MEPs and regret this has not happened in the case of Greece so far. MEPs also welcomed the reduction in Frontex’s activities in Lithuania following the Court of Justice judgment (C-72/22) and recommend a more proactive approach to protecting EU principles and values. Regarding cooperation with Hungarian authorities, MEPs call for an immediate suspension of support for return operations from Hungary.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine

MEPs praise the positive role played by the agency in helping member states deal with large numbers crossing external borders into the EU following the Russian attack against Ukraine and the deployment of around 500 officers along the Eastern border from Finland to Romania as well as the deployment of over 50 officers to Moldova.

Management of the Agency

MEPs expect a change in Frontex’s work culture regarding respect for EU principles and values, including fundamental rights, transparency and efficiency in internal procedures and accountability towards Parliament. They recognise the efforts made to implement 36 out of 42 recommendations made by the Frontex Scrutiny Group and recommend specific further actions.

Next steps

The draft resolution will be tabled for a discussion and vote by the full House in a future plenary session.

Background

The resolution stems from the fact-finding investigation carried out by the Civil Liberties Committee Working Group on Frontex Scrutiny (FSWG), chaired by Lena Düpont (EPP, DE), and set up in January 2021. The FSWG final report, steered by Tineke STRIK (Greens, NL) was presented in July 2021.

    Ongoing concerns in Greece, Lithuania and Hungary

    MEPs express “severe concerns regarding the serious and persistent allegations made against Greek authorities in relation to pushbacks and violence against migrants”. Frontex should scale down its operations to mere monitoring and presence on the ground in cases where a member state is unable to respect EU principles and values, say MEPs and regret this has not happened in the case of Greece so far. MEPs also welcomed the reduction in Frontex’s activities in Lithuania following the Court of Justice judgment (C-72/22) and recommend a more proactive approach to protecting EU principles and values. Regarding cooperation with Hungarian authorities, MEPs call for an immediate suspension of support for return operations from Hungary.

    The Russian invasion of Ukraine

    MEPs praise the positive role played by the agency in helping member states deal with large numbers crossing external borders into the EU following the Russian attack against Ukraine and the deployment of around 500 officers along the Eastern border from Finland to Romania as well as the deployment of over 50 officers to Moldova.

    Management of the Agency

    MEPs expect a change in Frontex’s work culture regarding respect for EU principles and values, including fundamental rights, transparency and efficiency in internal procedures and accountability towards Parliament. They recognise the efforts made to implement 36 out of 42 recommendations made by the Frontex Scrutiny Group and recommend specific further actions.

    Next steps

    The draft resolution will be tabled for a discussion and vote by the full House in a future plenary session.

    Background

    The resolution stems from the fact-finding investigation carried out by the Civil Liberties Committee Working Group on Frontex Scrutiny (FSWG), chaired by Lena Düpont (EPP, DE), and set up in January 2021. The FSWG final report, steered by Tineke STRIK (Greens, NL) was presented in July 2021.

    The committee adopted on Thursday a draft resolution, with 45 in favour, 7 against and 0 abstentions, wrapping up the fact-finding investigation by the Working Group on Frontex Scrutiny.

    Search and rescue

    MEPs underline that Frontex could do more to increase the EU and member states’ capacity to carry out search and rescue operations by investing in appropriate assets for such operations. Regarding the shipwreck off the coast of Greece on 14 June 2023, MEPs expect Frontex’s full cooperation during the inquiry.
