FRONTEX Regulations

FRONTEX, the European Border and Coast Guard Agency, operates under regulations that govern how it manages EU external borders. These rules set standards for border security, migrants, and cooperation among EU countries. FRONTEX assists member states in preventing illegal crossings, conducting border checks, and managing migration flows effectively and humanely. The regulations also define procedures for border surveillance, search and rescue operations, and handling of migrant arrivals, aiming to ensure safe, efficient, and coordinated border management across the European Union while respecting fundamental rights.
