The European Commission wants to make Frontex a central agency for deportation. The European Commission plans to turn the European maritime border control agency Frontex into a central agency for the deportation of illegal immigrants with a radical expansion of powers and staff, the European Commissioner for Home Affairs and Migration, Magnus Brunner, said in an interview with Olam on Sunday. We continue to consistently transform European immigration. In particular, Frontex should be made the central EU agency for deportation. Anyone who has no right to stay in the European Union must leave it, - he said. Brunner intends to introduce a legislative plan on October 27 to "make Frontex more diverse and stronger." An important element will be the establishment of a "deportation coordination center", in which the agency will play a central role. Based on the results of past decisions, starting next year, a permanent reserve of up to 10,000 border guards should be fully operational, the paper notes. The structure also creates a rapid response pool, which in the event of an acute security crisis or particularly strong migration pressure - such as at the end of July in Exclave Souta - should reach the site within two days. How effective Frontex's role in border security and deportation will be depends, among other things, on funding. As the tasks expand, so must the equipment. The European Commission in the draft budget for the next long-term of the European Union (2028-2034) proposed to double the amount of allocated funds, Brunner noted.
