EU plans a rapid border Frontex intervention to assist Greece in dealing with the large numbers of migrants at its external borders. The Greek government officially asked Frontex to launch a rapid border intervention at its sea borders in the Aegean. European Union supports Greece with Frontex rapid border intervention to guard EU eastern borders.

FRONTEX – Rapid border interventions

Rapid border interventions bring immediate assistance to an EU Member State. This is a support to a Member State which is under urgent and exceptional pressure at its external border. Rapid border intervention is especially related to large numbers of non-EU nationals trying to enter its territory illegally.

It is part of the Frontex mandate to assist a Member State confronted with an exceptional situation, requesting urgent support with officers and equipment from all EU Member States and Schengen Associated Countries.

“Starting next year we will be able to rely on the first 700 officers from the European Border and Coast Guard standing corps to provide operational flexibility in case of a rapid border intervention. Today, we depend entirely on EU Member States and Schengen Associated Countries for contributions to come through at this crucial time,” he added.

Frontex has already increased surveillance capacity at the Greek borders and is redeploying officers from other operations to provide immediate assistance.

Frontex is now working closely with Greece to quickly finalise the operational plan for the rapid border intervention.

As soon as the plan is agreed, Frontex will ask other EU Member States and Schengen Associated Countries to immediately provide border guards and other relevant staff from the rapid reaction pool, indicating the relevant profiles and numbers of officers from each.

The interventions rely on the rapid reaction pools of 1500 officers and equipment from EU Member States and Schengen Associated Countries, which are required to provide officers and staff within five days and equipment within 10 days.

“Our core mission is to protect the common borders of the European Union in support of Member States. In Greece, we contribute to this goal supporting the registration of migrants and security screenings, which are also important for returns,” said Fabrice Leggeri.
