The European Parliament and Council have backed the Commission's proposal to set up a European Border and Coast Guard, building on the foundations laid by Frontex.
The reinforced European border management agency will be able to draw on a reserve pool of people and equipment to ensure a strong and shared management of the EU’s external borders, the European Commission said in a statement on Wednesday.
The European Border and Coast Guard will help manage migration more effectively, improve the internal security of the European Union, and safeguard the principle of free movement of persons.
“This important project will show to the world: As of now, Europe treats the protection of its borders as a common mission of solidarity,” European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said in the statement.
The European Border and Coast Guard will provide the missing link to strengthen Europe's external borders, so that people can continue to live and move freely within the European Union.
The establishment of a European Border and Coast Guard was announced by Jean-Claude Juncker in September 2015 as part of the measures under the European Agenda on Migration to reinforce the management and security of the EU's external borders.
