In terms of asylum and migration policy, Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has announced a massive expansion of the EU border protection agency Frontex. Frontex staff are to be tripled – to 30,000 border and coast guards. It remains unclear how long this will take. So far, the expansion has repeatedly been slowed down by a lack of personnel. Von der Leyen also announced an „integrated“ and fully digitalized border management system. This will make the EU „the most advanced travel destination in the world“. However, fundamental rights are to be safeguarded – which has not always been the case with Frontex in the past.
