European Commission plans major overhaul and budget increase for Frontex
What happened
The European Commission is overhauling the European Border and Coast Guard Agency, Frontex, to give it a larger role in deportations, more agility, and increased resources. The Commission has proposed increasing Frontex’s budget to €12 billion over seven years. The Commission President also called for a European Border and Return Reserve, a Quick Reaction Force, and a Return Coordination Centre.

The European Union tasked the European Border and Coast Guard Agency with implementing border control measures.
