External borders: mandate of the Agency for the Management of Operational Cooperation at the External Borders (FRONTEX)

2010/0039(COD)

The Council discussed the state-of-play concerning revised rules for the external borders agency FRONTEX. Some of the outstanding issues outstanding include:

  • the development of a common integrated risk analysis model;
  • the processing of personal data;
  • the creation of a European system of border guards.

Council preparatory bodies have discussed the proposal at several meetings. Negotiations with the European Parliament have not yet started.
