Frontex' mission is to help EU Member States implement EU rules on external border controls and to coordinate operational cooperation between Member States in the field of external border management. It is, of course, up to each member state to control its own borders, but the Agency will help ensure that they all do so with the same high standard of efficiency.
The main tasks of FRONTEX include:
coordination of operational cooperation between Member States in the field of management of external borders;
assistance to Member States in the training of national border guards
carrying out risk analyses;
following up the development of research relevant for the control and surveillance of external borders;
assistance to Member States in circumstances requiring increased technical and operational assistance at external borders;
providing Member States with the necessary support in organising joint return operations.
