Migration: Dobrindt wants to significantly strengthen Frontex
Federal Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt has invited several European colleagues to Munich in order, as he says, to toughen and sharpen the course in migration policy. What does he propose?
German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt is calling for more powers for the European border protection agency Frontex, particularly in crisis situations and when returning migrants. He wants a rapid Frontex response team to be deployed within 24 hours to help manage extreme situations. Dobrindt also advocates for an expanded Frontex mandate to assist with return procedures, including deportations from transit countries.
EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen recently proposed a new European crisis response framework, which Dobrindt welcomes. Further discussions on establishing "Return Hubs" in third countries are also planned.
