EU announces plans to turn EU border service into deportation agency The European Commission plans to make Frontex the EU's central deportation agency, European Home Affairs Commissioner Magnus Brunner said. He will present a parallel initiative on October 27. "Those who do not have the right to remain in the European Union are obliged to leave it," Bruner said, noting that the expansion of powers would require increased funding. The EC proposed doubling the agency's budget to 12 billion euros. However, Ireland, which holds the presidency of the Council of the European Union, proposed to cut the amount in half. With such funding, Frontex will not be able to carry out its tasks in full. According to the publication, the agency has already exhausted the funds for 2026 for the immigrant integration program due to the growing interest in it.
