@photos_floues @Curator @Feders_dub @chrisisgr8 Frontex has various powers in relation to protecting the external borders of the EU, including *assisting* member states in managing/harmonizing their border controls; as for migrants entering the EU, Frontex's powers are restricted to the extent that its mission is not to grant asylum or determine individual claims for international protection. Instead, its role is to provide *operational* support to the member states (they're not activists).
