Bringing together complementary expertise and services enables EU agencies to better support national authorities working at sea. It was a good opportunity to meet our colleagues in Vigo and demonstrate how various EU mandates can contribute to a shared European effort at sea.

Together with EMSA, Frontex and EFCA collaborate on European coast guard functions through information sharing, conducting maritime surveillance, providing trainings, risk analysis and capacity building.

Although they have different responsibilities, cooperation at sea matters. Frontex supports Member States in managing the EU’s external borders, while EFCA supports fisheries control.

The operation resulted in the seizure of more than 150 tonnes of drugs and the arrest of close to 500 persons. Find out more about the operation’s details on our website!

Happy German Unity Day!🇩🇪 Today, we are celebrating Fabio, a Category 3 officer from the Hessian State Police, who is currently working with our Specialized Activities Sector at Frontex.

The next decade will change just as much. That is why Frontex creates the Strategic Risk Analysis every two years. It is a forward-looking exercise that launches the EU's multi-year strategic policy cycle for border management.

Ten years ago Frontex became the European Border and Coast Guard Agency. Few could predict a decade of contraband weather balloons, radar-evading drug drones, and a pandemic halting free movement.
