Headquarter Agreement Frontex

– the Frontex headquarters agreement signed with Poland (as announced here by the European Commission: ec.europa.eu/home-affairs/news/f) – all earlier versions of the headquarters agreement signed with the Polish government; – all agreements, contracts or agreements signed with Poland concerning the ”new Frontex headquarters in Warsaw in the country provided by the Polish government” (as stated by the European Commission). Can the Commission explain the extent to which Poland has complied with its obligations under Article 15 bis of the Frontex Regulation (headquarters agreement) and, in particular, what means it offers to ensure the smooth running of the Agency? The European Border and Coast Guard Agency, also known as Frontex,[5] is an agency of the European Union, headquartered in Warsaw, Poland, in coordination with the border guards and coastguards of the Schengen member states. The siege agreement came into force on 1 November 2017, following a ratification process in the Polish parliament. It defines the legal status of the agency and its staff in Poland, while allowing Frontex to establish its new headquarters in Warsaw, on the territory provided by the Polish government. It also provides for the creation of an accredited European school for the children of agency staff. 2015 will mark the tenth anniversary of 2015. The European Parliament has not yet been informed of the signing of an agreement between Frontex and Poland. Established in 2004 as the European Agency for the Management of Operational Cooperation at external borders, Frontex is primarily responsible for coordinating border controls. In response to the European migration crisis from 2015 to 2016, the European Commission proposed on 15 December 2015 to extend Frontex`s mandate and transform it into a full-fledged European border and coastguard agency. [6] On 18 December 2015, the European Council supported the proposal[7] and, after a vote by the European Parliament, the European Border and Coast Guard Corps was officially established on 6 October 2016 on Bulgaria`s external border with Turkey.
